I’m single-Joyce Blessing disagrees with “husband”
There seem to be disagreement over status of marriage between gospel music dynamo, Joyce Blessing and former manager, Dave Joy.
The two parted ways as artiste and manager after their marriage hit the rock in may this year.
Speaking on Zylofon FM’s Showbiz Agenda today, Joyce Blessing revealed that she is divorced and for that matter single.
“Dave Joy is no more my husband, I’m single,” she told Sammy Flex.
Joyce Blessing said she has learnt her lessons and moved on with her career, however, Dave Joy, keeps pestering her life just to make things difficult for her music.
According to her,most of the accounts of her digital stores are in the custody of Dave Joy, and as a result has hindered the growth of her (Joyce Blessing) new digital channels.
This notwithstanding, Dave Joy called on the programme to counter the statement made by Joyce Blessing.
According to Dave Joy, traditionally there are processes in divorce which have not been followed, and for that reason Joyce Blessing cannot say she is single.
“Please she is not my ex-wife, there is no issue at court, both families have not met over any divorce, so traditionally she is still my wife,” he said.
He added that traditionally, Joyce Blessing is still his wife until the marriage is dissolved.
Dave Joy, also added that he is opened for discussions on the way forward for her music for the sake of their children.

In a post after a successful Rapperholic edition in Kumasi, the rapper noted that the concert stimulates economic activity across Kumasi, Accra and the wider Ghanaian economy.
According to him, this is driven through tourism, hospitality, transportation, food, fashion, media, advertising, employment and the creative supply chain.
