Ghanaian veteran gospel musician Edward Akwasi Boateng has announced his decision to officially end his marriage, saying he wants to prevent any future legal battles over his estate after his death a situation.

His belief mirrors the ongoing dispute involving the widows of late Highlife legend Daddy Lumba.

In an interview with Kumasi-based Hello FM, Boateng revealed plans to visit the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) to initiate the divorce process.

“Looking at what’s happening, I’ve decided to go to the KMA to end my marriage, it’s worrying that after separating from your wife, when you die, she might show up to fight with your family, claiming to be the rightful wife. I won’t allow that. She left me, so I’ll take the step to legally dissolve the marriage”,he stated.

Boateng’s decision comes on the heels of years of well-documented marital challenges that severely affected him financially.

In earlier interviews, the gospel artiste disclosed that after marrying, he lost a fleet of 17 cars and all his assets.

He recounted that his wife encouraged him to live lavishly, only to abandon him after relocating to the United States. The collapse of the marriage left him in financial distress, struggling at times to provide basic needs such as school fees for his children.
