KKD and one of the girls |
Ghana’s
presenter extraordinaire, Kwesi Kyei Darkwa, popularly known as KKD, reportedly
went on an exposing spree when he took his turn on ‘Meet The Girl In the Yellow
House’ on Viasat 1 which shows on Saturdays at 10am.
One
of the things KKD said in the House that he did not elaborate on but had
generated controversy was that his virginity was stolen from him at age 11.
His
comment was a response to a question on whether or not he was a womanizer.
“No,”
he said when asked if he was a womanizer and a
dded that women loved him for the
mere fact that he was in front of the camera. The adulations he gets are from
lots of people, women included.
KKD,
who made a lot of revelations on the show, also said smoking and drinking alcohol
were not part of his lifestyle.
“I don’t smoke and I don’t drink alcohol. I
have never taken alcohol, I only do coconut water, smoothies and orange juice,”
he was quoted.
KKD
was born in Tema to Opanyin Kwesi Darkwa who started life in Obuasi area
working with Electricity Corporation in Dunkwa, and Ohemaa Ama Asukwa.
The
first male of six children to his mother, he saw nothing wrong with his father
marrying ‘only’ three wives then, although he thinks a man can never be fair to
any other woman apart from one.
The
46-year-old had been had happily married until he was ‘happily divorced’
because things were not working out with his wife of seven years. For a
marriage which bore two children, he said, they both didn’t want to make each
other miserable because it just wasn’t working.
KKD
went further to say that he gave women a lot of credit for how matured,
organized and composed they were irrespective of their age, something men could
only dream about.
According
to him, he ran a company in the UK which managed corporate communications for
companies like Ghana International Bank, MoneyGram, Unity Link Financial
Services and others. He said he was not yet rich but he preferred to see
himself as “comfortable”.
For
a man who loved his wife so much, he couldn’t let her go to the UK alone when
she wanted to settle there, so he gave up the glitz and glamour to start afresh
in the UK. Was KKD ever a security guard in the UK as rumoured?
“I
went to the UK with lots of money from Ghana. As an Ashanti man, you have to
work, so I worked with a car parking company as a cashier. I wear my Prada and
Armani, get to work, change my clothes, do my job, take my money and off to the
house I go. It wasn’t bad because in six months, I bought my Jaguar,” a proud
KKD told the Girls.
For
a person who loved to live well, “I moved on to Marks &Spencer where I was
doing refunds and exchanges. Then after three months, I moved to join a
shareholding and communications company. I wasn’t borrowing money from anyone
and my family was happy.”
He
offered an advice that it was not belittling one’s self when they moved abroad
doing menial jobs, but while looking for what they wanted to do, people ought
to take advantage to do other things that came their way.
The
BET Judge for International Acts said, “I have no shame to shining shoes to
look after my family if I have to.”
