Reggie Rockstone Weeps?As He Finds Wife In Bed With Close Friend

It happened not to be news enough, at least, for the media. When Reggie Rockstone, Ghana?s hiplife Grandpapa divorced his wife. Months after, even when the Oseikrom President dropped hints in his music, public opinion remained bizarrely silent on what has been going on in his marriage life.

His new track titled ?Ah? vividly mentions Reggie?s marriage life being broken down by an ungrateful close friend who did it in bed with his wife. Its video clip which according to Reggie is a ?mini movie? typical of some exaggeration, clearly carried the message across that the Hip-life Grandpapa went through deep marital experience.

His fans know, he has done it before and can easily do it again. ?Ye bounce wo visa? is one of Reggie?s many tracks in which he puts out real life experiences for those who truly want to learn from the power of Hip-life music.

Reggie Rockstone told Ghana Billboard the incident took place in one of his father?s houses, when his very good and closest friend slept with his wife. He added that his former wife is still his best friend but has never seen the friend ever since the bad news emerged.

Even though he does not want to divulge the name of the closest friend to Ghana Billboard, sources are pointing fingerings at a fair coloured New York DJ. Whether it is confirmed as such or not it is no secret that Reggie is gone through what every man would not want to go through.

Very close sources to the Oseikrom President have hinted that even though the divorce took place several months ago, his beautiful daughter is yet to know her parents are no more together. The ill treatment meted out at K.K. Fosu in the video is just one of the bad ideas he had for the close friend when it initially came to the force that the game of ?aaye fe notse? was been heavily played on none other than the Spacefon Legend.

Asked whether he really divorced his wife because of what happened, he said ?No, but there were other problems and this became just an extension of it.? Interestingly, the words of the songs were written long before the incident took place. Rockstone thus prophesied what was to happen long before it took place.

The man, who has become a great inspirational figure in hiplife and Ghanaian music generally, has again taught us a lesson of life in music. The song has not only gotten people dancing but also awfully thinking if anything close to that can happen to them. Why on earth would a close friend sleep with my wife?

Reggie Ossei?s new and last album has several other captivating tracks that?s going to make you listen enjoyably to its musical sounds. Other tracks on the album include a self titled; Rockstone, Ashi me, which is another real life experience about the death of his father Ricci Ossei, a re-known fashion designer, Reggie Rockstone became the trailblazer of hiplife music in Ghana, a blend of hip-hop and African/Ghanaian rhythms when he released Tsobooi, in the early 90s.

He became the first man to tread unknown waters in Ghanaian music when he took Ghana by storm with his local Twi rap, interlaced with local terms and popular phrases. He may not be the last of celebrities to go through the pain of marriage.
