I Didn’t Mean Asantehene: Amanda Retracts: Here’s Who She Meant


— January 15, 2015
Amanda, wife of Black Stars player, Afriyie
Acquah has pointed out that the person she
referred to as ‘Otumfuo’ in her now infamous
audio jibes at Kennedy Agyapong’s wife,
Mona is not the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei
Tutu II as has been widely circulated.
Amanda has been in the news since last
weekend when she released an audio
recording purportedly aimed at Mona,
supposed wife of business tycoon and huge
Asante Kotoko fan, Kennedy Agyapong who
is also reported to have been in a
relationship with Afriyie Acquah’s wife in the
past.
Amanda could be heard in the audio which
went viral hurling insults and abuse on Mona
including accusing her of engaging in several
sexual escapades with loads of Black Stars
players as well as some prominent citizens
including one ‘Otumfuo’ which has been
widely interpreted to mean the king of the
Ashanti kingdom with the Manhyia palace
even detailing subjects to Accra in a quest to
summon her [Amanda].
But a source close to the Afriyie Acquah
camp has exclusively told Allsports.com.gh
that Amanda never referred to the
Asantehene and insists it was mistaken
identity.
“Amanda did not mean the Asantehene when
she said Otumfuo, she was referring to
somebody else who also goes by the same
name and never the Ashanti king,” the
source revealed.
“Any inconvenience, embarrassment or
discomfort this may have caused the
Asantehene is deeply regretted and she
apologises profusely for the mistake,” the
source added.
The source continued: “Afriyie Acquah is
extremely sorry and is pleading with the
Asantehene and his people to forgive and
forget. He will come out with a full statement
on the issue at the appropriate time.
“The player has had a tough week but he is
totally focused on the Black Stars
preparations towards the Africa Cup of
Nations. He is determined to help the national
team finally bring home that elusive 5th
Africa Cup.”
