Azigiza and his family
Rev. Azigiza Jnr, one of Africa’s best DJs in the 90s, on Monday marked 18 years since he got married to his beautiful wife, Gertrude Edith Addo.
“Thank God for 18 years of marriage and still counting,” he said when he shared their anniversary photo on Instagram and tagged the wife.
The two lovebirds looked very happy with each other. Their love story is not just interesting but also an inspiring one. Gertrude used to be a go-between for Azigiza, born Victor Kpakpo Addo, scouting girls for him, but they ended up as lovers and subsequently got married.
“I was a betweener. Sometimes I scouted for girls just to help him find someone,” Gertrude told Joy FM last year.
It’s been 18 years since they tied the knot, and they are happily blessed two children ? Jedidiah and Janelle.
“As for me & my house we will serve the Lord,” Azigiza said after also sharing his picture with his family.
Azigiza was one of the popular DJs in the 90s. He was adjudged the best West African DJ and best African DJ in 1993.
He started his DJ career in 1991 on radio as a presenter and DJ. He hosted programmes such as Joy FM’s Joy Beach Jam, Guinness Music for Your Dancing Feet on GTV, Video Vibes and The Azigiza Show.
He was the resident DJ for most of the big nightclubs in Accra like Miracle Mirage, the Golden Egg and Glenns. He abandoned his DJ profession in 1998 when he became a born-again Christian, and that was when his transformation started. Rev. Azigiza Jnr. enrolled in some Bible schools and has since become a minister of the gospel.
