Ishmael Nii Ardey aka Nii Funny, has issued an apology to the Ga community for describing Ga women as beggars.
I what has been condemned as loose talk, the singer, in an interview on Accra-based Okay FM, said he married an African American woman because women from the Ga community are overly dependent on men.
“The women in Ga-Mashi don’t like me and are scared of me. I also don’t like some of their characters.
They beg for money too much. Can I have 1,000gh or 2,000gh for a funeral cloth when the funeral is not directly related to them? They are also lazy and don’t like working,” he added.
These comments by the singer attracted several backlashes from the Ga community, for which he has come out to publicly apologize.
According to him, he has much respect for Ga women and that his comment was strictly about some Ga women he has had a personal dealing with.
In a statement dated Saturday, September 17, he acknowledged the presence of some very industrious Ga women and apologized for creating a bad impression about them.
