Ghanaian musician Nii Funny may soon incur the wrath of the Ga community for what many have already described as ‘lose talk’.
Speaking in an interview with Ansah-Addo Halifax, the musician who released his major single Broken Heart in 2016 revealed why he married an American instead of a fellow countrywoman, specifically a Ga Native.
According to him, his experiences with the Ga women were not the best and they liked begging.
“The girls in my Ga town don’t like me. They’re afraid of me. I also don’t like some of their characters. The ladies like to beg a lot. Any small opportunity, they’ll ask you for money.
When you query them on what they need the money for they say they going to buy funeral cloth and sow for a late uncle’s father’s stepbrother’s funeral. And finally, few of them like to work, they’re lazy” he said.
His comment has since come as a shock to many who believe his comments were unfortunate considering his background and the support the Ga community has had for him throughout his career.
Others also believe his comments go a long to endorse a stereotyped mindset many have had about Ga women.

“One time I almost got arrested for carrying a mouth spray. They searched for me and found a mouth spray in my pocket. You could see the joy on their faces because they thought it contained something illegal. I told them it was just mouthed spray to keep my breath fresh.”
