I don’t have a wife – Samini

From being touted as ‘The ladies Man’ to be
being called ‘The man with many wives’, the
self-acclaimed ‘King of African Dancehall’,
Samini, seems to have shirked all those titles
and wants the title, ‘Man with no wives’.
The dancehall artiste has revealed that, he is
no longer married and has no wife presently,
contrary to the known fact that he had two
wives.
Making the revelation to Delay Frimpong
Manso on the ‘Delay Show’ after some
hesitation, Samini said that he had married two
ladies at a young age with the perception that
he was doing the honourable thing of marrying
all the mothers of his children.
According to him, he felt he was doing the
right thing but the ladies, after a while did not
agree to the arrangement of being married to
the same man and the circumstances of the
marriages and decided to call it quit; so he is
currently with no wife.
‘I don’t have a wife. Everybody has gone their
separate ways. Thanks to civilization, my
former wives decided to stop the marriage,’ he
disclosed.
Samini defended his action of marrying more
than one woman by saying: “where I come
from, it is acceptable to marry more than one
woman and it was my wish to marry all the
mothers of my kids and make them
comfortable. I thought I was doing the right
thing but the women felt otherwise”
“Once you can take care of your wives and
children, it is acceptable to marry the women
as a responsible man,” he continued.
The irony of Samini’s marriage life which hit
the headlines years ago was not about his
marriage to two different women but how he
did it.
In February 2011, Samini got married to
Mercy Geker, mother of his daughter, Yelisun
Samini in London.
At the time, Samini was already engaged to
Christian Aboagye Mensah, a Ghanaian-based in
Canada and the mother of his daughters- Toyila
Samini and Ayana Samini, unbeknownst to
Mercy Geker.
Samini, on 10th May 2011, officially registered
his marriage to Christiana Aboagye Mensah in a
low profile ceremony which took place at the
Registrar General’s Office in Accra in the
presence of their children.
Samini currently has four kids, three girls and
one boy from different women but he is not
married to any of the women, per his account.
Samini is also gearing up to open a restaurant/
night club called ‘Dance Sterdam’ at
Dansoman.
According to him, the place will serve as a
restaurant during the day and a nighclub in
the evening; and will be opened very soon.
