Musician Mzbel has fired shots at critics over her recent revelation on her past relationship with Maxwell Mensah, the husband of actress Nana Ama McBrown.

The “16 Years” hitmaker has come under attack after revealing in an interview that she was 'tight' with Maxwell, and their relationship would have ended in a marriage.

But the musician has fired back in an exclusive interview with Pulse Ghana, saying she has every right to speak up and that Nana Ama McBrown wasn’t married as a virgin.

“Those attacking me only read headlines without going through the full story. They are always prepared to insult so the moment they see headlines, they insult. I don’t understand,” she told David Mawuli on Pulse Chat.

“I’ve watched my recent interview over and over again to find fault but there’s nothing that I said wrong. I was asked about my current relationship with Maxwell, and I said we are cool, close. Then I was asked about my past relationship, and I said we were like each other's toy. He was like that male friend you can lean on and treat him like a teddy bear,” she explained.

She said she sees nothing wrong with her statement, adding that Nana Ama McBrown wasn’t married as a virgin so, it will in no way affect her marriage.

“Maxwell didn’t marry Nana Ama McBrown as a virgin. And my [past] relationship with Maxwell was no secret – we were everywhere. So, I would be a hypocrite to swerve questions on our relationship. It won’t affect their marriage.”

Mzbel added that she never said she turned down Maxwell’s proposal.
