Ghanaian musician, Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, known in Showbiz circles as Mzbel has brushed aside questions about the father of her daughter, Ohemaa.

Mzbel recently set social media buzzing with pictures and videos of her baby bump and her daughter.

She was also seen wearing a ring, indicating she is engaged.

This has raised questions from a section of the public about who the lucky man would be.

However, in an interview with Emmanuel Agyemang of Obibini TV, Mzbel indicated that she would not reveal the identity of the father of her daughter.

“For what I have seen on social media, I will not disclose something I value so much. Someone got married and posted about her husband, and people started digging into the man’s life, and the marriage collapsed,” she said.

According to her, if you value something and it gives you joy, social media should be the last place to display it.

For this reason, the musician said she would not disclose the identity of her husband to subject him to ridicule.

Mzbel added that she would not allow anyone to destabilise her peace of mind and joy.
