Kwabena Kwabena has shared his thoughts on fatherhood, family dynamics, and the challenges men face in relationships in a deep conversation with Roselyn Felli monitored by MyNewsGh.
Addressing a previous statement where he was criticized for his comments about mothers in family situations, the musician clarified his stance, stating, “What I said wasn’t meant to be derogatory towards women. I was speaking from my own experience.”
Kwabena explained that sometimes, fathers are unfairly perceived as absent or uninvolved in their children’s lives.
“If a father isn’t as present as expected, it’s often attributed to the mother. That’s what I was trying to convey,” he clarified.
Reflecting on his own childhood, he explained, “There was a time when I didn’t really like my father, but as I grew older, I developed a personal relationship with him. It wasn’t that my mother did anything wrong; it was about the attention and dynamics between the parents.”
The musician stressed the importance of both parents being involved in a child’s life. “Both parties should be present in the child’s life for them to have a well-rounded experience. When one parent is absent, it can create an imbalance.”
Kwabena admitted that social media may have misunderstood his comments, and he urged the public to consider his words carefully. “Men go through a lot, but they don’t always have the space to express it. We need to create room for both parents to equally contribute to their children’s lives.”
Kwabena concluded by acknowledging that some men are indeed irresponsible but emphasized the need for balance.
“We must strive for balance. Both men and women need to be present for the sake of the children,” he said.
