Nii Funny apologizes to Ga Women

Ghanaian musician Ishmael Nii Ardey Ankrah popularly known as Nii Funny has apologized to Ga women over an earlier comment describing them as lazy and beggars.

This comes after an earlier revelation on why he married an American instead of a fellow Ga woman. He made the comment on Okay FM’s ‘Best Entertainment Show’.

Nii Funny however describes the comment as “personal experience with a few Ga girls”.

In an official statement on his Facebook page, the Gbogbo hitmaker said, “I cannot damage the reputation of all Ga women. I know and have read of several illustrious Ga women in all sectors of development from commerce to religion to politics to global leadership to invention and several Ga mothers who are the breadwinners of their homes: Ga women of repute, worthy of emulation.”

He further added, “I am sorry for the impression created. That was not the import of my message in the context I spoke about my sad experience. I am not against Ga women, I am an offspring of an eminent Ga woman and I have a sweet Ga daughter who would grow into a great Ga woman. I am sorry for any impressions of disrespect, disregard and disdain whatsoever from me. I love and respect our Ga women.”

STATEMENT: I Am Sorry

In a recent interview to promote my ‘No Supa’ track, I shared a personal sad experience I have had with a few Ga girls.

Unfortunately news headlines on that discussion generalized my comments to mean an attack on all Ga women. That cannot be what I said and the context of my comments.

I cannot damage the reputation of all Ga women. I know and I have read of several illustrious Ga women in all sectors of development from commerce to religion to politics to global leadership to invention and several Ga mothers who are the bread winners of their homes: Ga women of repute, worthy of emulation.

I am sorry for the impression created. That was not the import of my message in the context I spoke about my sad experience.

I am not against Ga women, l am an offspring of an eminent Ga woman and I have a sweet Ga daughter who would grow into a great Ga woman.

I am sorry for any impressions of disrespect, disregard and disdain whatsoever from me.

I love and respect our Ga women.
