Yaw Sarpong has finally addressed the sensational accusations made by his wife, Adwoa Penamang, during her appearance on the Auntie Naa show a few days ago, which caused quite a stir in the Ghanaian entertainment news scene.

During a Sunday church service at New Jerusalem Chapel, where he is currently undergoing treatment, Yaw Sarpong took the opportunity to set the record straight.

He revealed that he had divorced his wife twenty years ago after she inexplicably abandoned him.

In light of this shocking revelation, the veteran gospel star personally visited his wife’s family to inform them about the situation and formally declare that their marital bond had been severed.

However, Yaw Sarpong did admit that he had neglected to follow through with the necessary traditional rites to officially dissolve the marriage.

“It’s been 20 years since I divorced Penamang,” he said as he disclosed how they married and what led to the divorce.

“I was asked to bring a ring and soft drinks to perform the marital rites. However, she began to act out. Instead of staying in Accra to look after the children, she moved to Kumasi.

“I reported the issue to her father. By that time, I had recovered from my illness,” he stated.

He dismissed a heartfelt argument put forth by Adwoa Penamang, claiming that his longtime backing vocalist, Tiwaa, is now the side chic who has taken over his marriage.

“Many of the things she [Penamang] mentioned, I don’t even recall. I let Tiwaa take care of me because she has been a pillar of support in my career, particularly during challenging times.

“Those who allege Tiwaa has taken me away from my wife are misinformed. I have not married Tiwaa,” he clarified.
