Rapper Strongman has disclosed that his former SarkCess Music label mate Akwaboah spent a staggering GH₵170,000 to book the Kempinski hotel for his wedding ceremony.
Despite the efforts and sacrifices made for this special occasion, many Ghanaians took the opportunity to mock him based on his appearance in a viral video that circulated online.
During a recent interview on Pure FM, Strongman also mentioned that the cost of food was not included in the aforementioned amount.
Strongman, who seems privy to all the details surrounding Akwaboah’s wedding, emphasised the importance of simplicity, as people tend to involve themselves in matters that are not their concern, regardless of the extent one goes to.
Ultimately, he expressed his frustration towards social media users who criticized Akwaboah’s outfit and various aspects of the wedding without having any knowledge of the amount of money spent on it.
He mentioned that for his wedding, he prefers to keep things simple by going to the court to make it official.
“It’s disheartening when you’ve put money into a wedding and then people on social media criticize your outfit. If it were up to me, I’d just sign the legal documents in court and give the money to my wife. For example, Akwaboah’s wedding.
“He spent a lot of money. I was really upset when I saw negative comments about his wedding on social media. Just for Kempinski, he paid over GH₵170,000 which did not include food. The negative comments bothered me as his close friend,” the rapper said.
