Ghanaian music artist Reggie Rockstone has expressed his opinion on monogamy in African culture, saying the idea was imposed on us through Westernization and Christianization.
In an interview with Class TV, the Hiplife Grandpapa claimed that the idea of a man being with only one woman is a foreign concept and not naturally aligned with African cultures.
He argued that the concept of monogamy was imposed upon Africans through Christianisation and Westernisation.
“I know it’s not African; I could tell you that for sure. It doesn’t seem to apply to us. We’ve been so Christianised and Westernised now. But I really believe that it doesn’t really move with our culture. I mean, it was imposed on us,” he said.
Rockstone, who is known for being a one-woman man, attributed his commitment to monogamy to his personal disposition rather than cultural expectations.
He explained that maintaining multiple relationships would be too burdensome and that he values his peace of mind.
“The reason why I’m a one-woman man is my personality. You know, it’s too much of a headache for me. I like my peace of mind,” he added.
