In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Ali said even though he is still single, marriage is not on his mind.
“I am not married yet, but marriage is not my priority now. Some of my friends who went to marry and brought their wives here are now frustrated and drunkards.”

“As for me before I marry and bring my wife to join me abroad then I should have brought all my friends and family here before she comes,” he added.
When asked if he would prefer to marry a white lady, Ali said his mother had cautioned him against marrying a non-Ghanaian. He added that because of the love he has for his aging mother he prefers to please her.
He recounted an ordeal where he nearly married a Ghanaian lady whose plan was to divorce him after he took her to Italy.
“I won’t marry a white lady only because my mother would not support it. I got a woman in Ghana and nearly married her but her intentions were not right. I found out she wanted me to bring her to Italy then she would divorce me. Immediately I got to know I ended the relationship and ceased all marriage preparations.”
