Gospel musician, Agnes Opoku Agyemang has revealed how her former husband went ahead to marry someone else while they were legally married.
She said her previous marriage faced challenges.
However, she forced herself to stay in the marriage believing that her husband being a pastor will change for good until the worst happened to her.
“Upon all the problems, I refused to divorce my ex-husband because of societal pressure. I was still married to him when I heard he has married another woman,” she stated.
Speaking on Changes on Joy Prime, the gospel singer indicated that during the initial stages of the ups and downs in her previous marriage, some fellow pastors of her ex-husband advised her to divorce but all to no avail.
Agnes Opoku Agyemang indicated she opted to stay in the marriage to overcome the problems and the criticisms considering all that she preached to others.
She added that spreading the gospel is an adventure that curtails the freedom of most women who are into it because of the beliefs people have about them.
“I was determined not to leave my matrimonial home despite all the maltreatment, I was strong to endure all the pains because of the word of God. Most importantly, I believed my ex-husband who is a pastor will be touched by God to change”, she told Roselyn Felli.
Agnes Opoku Agyemang emerged onto the Ghanaian gospel music scene in 2002 with ‘Yi Madesua’ album and has become a household name today. After a successful debut album, she found reasons to praise God even more and so followed with the award-winning album, ‘Mensan Makyi’ in 2003.
Touching on her music career, she recalled how she started to write her songs at age 12 while in the Catholic choir but had to wait for six years to come out with her first album because she had no manager to produce back then.
However, she parted ways with the producer in 2004 and has since produced her songs single-handedly with five albums to her credit.
“After JSS, I started recording my songs because I realised that God has given me a talent so I decided to make good use of it. It wasn’t easy but I tried until I met my first producer, Steve, who helped to produce my first three albums.
“By the grace of God, I write all my songs. I draw inspiration from the things around me and transform them into gospel because I love the word of God”, she noted.

Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.
This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.
She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.
Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.
Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.
This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.
Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.
It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.
The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.
The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.
Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.

She was 63.
The news of her demise flashed through social media on Saturday, prompting an outpouring of grief from musicians, fans and members of the Christian community, who have since paid tribute to her distinguished career.
She gained strong reputation as a singer, songwriter and minister whose music transcended generations.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Kaa She Gbeyei,’ ‘It’s By Grace,’ ‘Nyame Kokroko’ and ‘N’adom Ara Kwa.’
Her contribution to the growth of gospel music in Ghana was recognised in 2009 when she won the Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year awards at the Ghana Music Awards, now known as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Beyond music, Mrs Offei distinguished herself in academia and professional life. She attended Achimota School before earning an MPhil in Crop Science from the University of Ghana and a Master’s Degree in Information Technology from University College London in the United Kingdom.
