Ghanaian businessman Richard Nii-Armah Quaye, popularly known as RNAQ, has pushed back strongly against claims that he assaulted his estranged wife, insisting the allegations are false and part of what he sees as a deliberate effort to tarnish his name.
The accusations came up during an appearance on The Delay Show, hosted by Deloris Frimpong Manso, where he was confronted directly about reports suggesting he had physically abused his former partner, Joana. Quaye used the platform to firmly reject the claims and defend his record.
Addressing the question head-on, he dismissed any suggestion of violence in his home, saying:
“I can’t even beat my children, not to even beat my wife. I have never beaten my wife before.”
He also responded to a viral video that has been widely shared online in connection with the allegations. While acknowledging its circulation, he questioned both its origin and intent.
“I have seen that video circulating, which talks about me beating my wife, and, as I said, there is a clear agenda on me. I don’t know where they got that video from,” he stated.
Quaye went further to challenge the credibility of the footage, arguing that digital content can easily be altered or misinterpreted in today’s online environment.
“In today’s world, people can even do makeup that looks like someone has been beaten. Second, she may have had an encounter with someone and gotten a swollen face and used it as a video. Because you see, that purported video that I saw, people believe in it, there were none of me in that video.”
He also expressed frustration over how quickly the public appeared to accept the claims without deeper verification, describing the situation as unfair and harmful.
“I keep watching the video, and I asked myself, does it mean anyone who comes to make allegations about me or accuse me would be believed? How can we live in a society like this? This is cruelty. I think anyone who believed her by watching that video where I did not show up and made a conclusion has made a great injustice to me.”
Reaffirming his stance, Quaye maintained that he has never been violent toward any woman, insisting the accusations do not reflect his character.
