Reggie Zippy
Ghanaian-British musician Reggie Zippy has taken to social media with emotional allegations against his ex-wife, Edith Ward, claiming she is “killing him behind the scenes” following their divorce.
In a widely circulated video, the singer—real name Reginald Ainooson—opened up about his ongoing mental health struggles and the emotional toll of what he describes as a bitter post-divorce feud.
“Listen to me, I’m telling you this — if anything should happen to me, I’m already battling mental health,” Reggie said. “If you think I’m lying, I can show you all my medications that I have to take every single day just to function as a normal human being.”
The artist expressed heartbreak over what he alleges is sustained emotional torment at the hands of Edith, despite the dissolution of their marriage.
“You are killing me behind the scenes. What have I done to you? What the hell have I done to you?” he asked in a voice laden with frustration.
Reggie accused Edith of being disrespectful and ungrateful, adding that this behaviour often occurred in front of their children. He further questioned whether the breakdown of their marriage justified the alleged emotional abuse he is experiencing.
“Is it my fault that you had me and disrespected me to my face, to my children, and you continue to do that,” he lamented. “Am I the only man you’ve ever been with? Just leave me alone.”
The singer also spoke on the broader issue of societal stigma against divorced men, saying it feels as though he’s not allowed to live freely post-divorce.
“What more do you want? I can’t live my life just because I’ve been divorced?” he questioned before abruptly ending the video.
This is not the first time Reggie Zippy has used social media to air personal grievances, but the intensity and emotional rawness of this recent video have sparked public concern over his mental health. As of now, Edith Ward has not responded publicly to the allegations.
