Ghanaian business magnate Richard Nii Armah Quaye has finally broken his silence following the social media talks surrounding his divorce from his ex-wife, Joana Coffie.
In snippets of an upcoming interview with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay, shared online on Friday, April 24, 2026, the founder of Bills Micro Credit Limited strongly refuted claims that his ex-wife played a defining role in building his wealth.
According to him, narratives suggesting that Joana Coffie sacrificed significantly to help him achieve success are largely inaccurate.
He emphazised that he had already established his business and had begun making money before marriage.
“I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding. I had money before marrying her… All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” he stated.
Richard Nii Armah emphasized that the scale and luxury of their wedding ceremony alone should serve as proof of his financial standing at the time, adding that he single-handedly financed the event.
When Delay showed a photo of himself and his ex-wife that has widely been circulated online after the divorce to suggest he was broke then, Richard brushed it off and provided some clarity.
In his defense, he mentioned that the said photo dates back to a day he took his ex-wife to a function outside and on the said day he even drove her to the event and back in his fully air-conditioned VW Passat, which suggests he was well to do.
