- Kwaku Manu responds, saying he understands and isn't insulted by Efia Odo's comments
Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has addressed recent comments made by Efia Odo on UTV, where she rejected his marriage proposal by stating that he does not meet her standards.
In an interview following the broadcast, Kwaku Manu responded to Efia Odo’s candid remarks during UTV’s “United Showbiz” discussion show. Efia Odo had clarified that Kwaku Manu was not her type and did not align with her personal preferences.
Kwaku Manu expressed his understanding of Efia Odo’s viewpoint, stating, “I find her comments to be accurate. I don’t see them as an insult.” He acknowledged that he does not frequent clubs or share the same style of dress as Efia Odo, which she had implied in her remarks.
The controversy began last month when Kwaku Manu, during a discussion about the social media feud between Efia Odo and Sista Afia, humorously proposed that he could marry both women. Efia Odo’s direct response made it clear that she had no romantic interest in him.
“I don’t want to be with you or marry you. You are not my type and you don’t meet my standards,” Efia Odo stated firmly. Her response surprised other panelists, prompting Kwaku Manu to question if it meant she would not marry at all.
Efia Odo reiterated, “I said I won’t marry you. Emphasis on you, because you are not my type.” She went on to describe her ideal partner, stating, “I want a responsible man. I think Kwaku Manu is even married, and I don’t want someone with children. I’m looking for a wealthy man, someone with generational wealth.”
Kwaku Manu, who has four children, acknowledged the remark. The host, MzGee, was taken aback by the straightforward nature of Efia Odo’s statements and sought further clarification.
