Ghanaian gospel artist Erico has revealed the reason that made him divorce his wife. In an exclusive interview with Emelia Brobbey on Okukuseku Talk Show on Adom TV, the Gospel artist revealed some deep secrets in his previous marriage.
Erico made it known that he was diagnosed with a kidney problem, so he had to be absent from the music scene for a while as he sought medical attention.
Erico said that it became very difficult for him to treat the disease, so he had to sell some of his properties to generate money for his treatment, as the drugs he was buying were quite expensive.
Erico disclosed that the doctor told him he would be well after seven months when he was put on medication, but he lied to his wife that the doctor said he would die in about five months’ time. He said he did this to test for her faithfulness but his wife really showed him her true colours.
Erico said that one midnight, while he pretended to be asleep, he saw his wife taking nude pictures and sending them to a man, and he was very shocked to see that. He revealed that he confronted her the next morning and left the house for Kumasi.
“When I was treating my kidney disease, the doctor told me I would be stable after seven months. However, I intentionally lied to my wife, saying that the doctor said, ‘I would be dead after five months’.
“At midnight, while I was lying in bed pretending to be asleep, I saw her taking pictures of her naked body with her phone. Afterwards, she called someone and said, ‘even these small pictures, you’re shaking; you would be amazed when we meet in person.’
“I was pained when she told the man to marry her early because I would die soon. Later on, I found out that a man who resides in Dubai [a city in the United Arab Emirates] had promised to marry her,” Erico said.
“I confronted her on the issue the following day and left the place [Accra] to stay in Kumasi. This world is full of wickedness.” He added.
