10 failed celebrity relationships that broke hearts
Celebrities rarely date themselves, hence, when they become a couple, it becomes a big deal for their fans.
Famous people dating themselves birthed so many power couples like Jay Z and Beyonce, Rihanna and A$ap Rocky, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Banky W and Adesua Etomi among others.
Though it’s beautiful to see two stars shine together, it gets to a point where their lights dim or quench in a way that breaks the heart of their fans. Some of these memorable celebrity breakups include the Kimye split and the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie separation.
On this note, here are ten failed Ghanaian celebrity relationships that a of lot fans wish they are still together but they know what is best for themselves, hence, they have gone their separate ways and moving on in life.

The High Life legend speaking about his failed relationship said “if you are going to look at it objectively, I think especially for the women, she is actually very sentimental and very emotional about the little things that we don’t give too much care to. For instance, if I should travel to the United States for just ten days and I’m not able to call back home that’s an issue“.
But according to Akosua Agyapong, “we were married for over 10 years and had four children and you think I would easily call for a divorce because I didn’t hear from him in 10 days? Then it means I am a mean person. Even though I haven’t regretted leaving him I would only say the marriage didn’t go well for us,”

Ghanaian musician Darlington Agyekum, popularly known as Dr Cryme, says he believes leadership is about making a lasting impact rather than holding office.
In an interview after graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management Studies at the Methodist University’s 2026 graduating class, Dr Cryme reflected on his student leadership journey and highlighted some of the initiatives he spearheaded while serving the university community.
“I always say this position is not a possession. People will come and go, but how you made a mark and who you helped is what we’re here for and how we’ll be remembered. Do your best, let God handle the rest,” he stated.
The rapper, who served as SRC President for the 2025/26 academic year, said his administration championed inclusiveness across the university’s three campuses under the motto, “For us, by us.”
“My motto, ‘For us, by us,’ brought inclusiveness and familiarity with all three campuses together in common goals and activities like education, health, sportsmanship and debates, which all projected the school to higher grounds and above,” he said.
According to him, the vision brought students together while strengthening unity and raising the profile of the university. He also served as a Council Member, Head of Entertainment and a face and brand ambassador for Methodist University Ghana.
Dr Cryme recounted that he was SRC President when the university celebrated its 25th anniversary and said his administration also revamped a legacy canteen project while improving seating facilities for students in classrooms and recreational areas.
He further disclosed that his administration introduced VOMUG (Voice of Methodist University Ghana), a communication platform designed to improve the dissemination of information through emails, bulk SMS, flyers and audio-visual content.
“I enhanced sitting materials for students both in the classrooms and outside for leisure and socialising. I also introduced VOMUG, which has helped in the dissemination of information through email, bulk SMS, flyers and audiovisuals, just to mention a few,” he added.
Although he and his team received citations from the university’s Tema administration in recognition of their service, Dr Cryme was quick to credit the wider university community for the achievements.
“Although we were presented with citations, myself and my team, by the administration in Tema, all these milestones wouldn’t have been attained without the support, involvement and indulgence of the beautiful people and stakeholders of Methodist University Ghana,” he said.
Beyond his academic achievement, Dr Cryme also announced that he has released a new single titled “Heat.”
