Ghanaian singer and socialite, Sister Derby, known offstage as Deborah Owusu-Bonsu, has ignited heated debate online following a provocative comment about marriage.
In a video shared on social media, Derby described marriage in stark terms, likening it to a transactional exchange. “Marriage is a form of prostitution,” she said, drawing a direct link between the tradition of paying bride price and lifelong s£xual access. “They pay for the pu$$y for life,” she asserted.
Though the broader context of the conversation remains unclear, Derby’s remarks have unsettled many and triggered a wave of criticism from online users who deemed the statement offensive and disrespectful.
“This is disrespect to your Creator Debby. May the Lord who instituted marriage forgive you 🙏🏾,” one person wrote in response.
Another commented with disbelief, “Asem ooo, so how can a beautiful lady think like this?”
Some took a more dismissive tone: “Mental health is real, folks!”
Still, not everyone condemned her. A few defended Derby’s right to her opinion, with one user writing: “That’s her own perception about marriage. Leave her alone.”
