I Funded the Wedding: Richard Nii Armah Quaye Sets the Record Straight on Delay | Discuss Ghana

Ghanaian business mogul and founder of Bills Microcredit (formerly Quick Credit), Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ), has broken his silence regarding his high-profile divorce from his ex-wife, Joana Coffie. In a teaser for a soon-to-be-aired interview with media personality Delay shared on Friday, April 24, 2026, the businessman vehemently challenged the narrative that his ex-wife was the financial backbone of his early success.

The interview comes as the former couple’s legal dispute moves to the Court of Appeal, following an initial High Court judgment.


"99% is Not True": Challenging the Sacrifice Narrative

RNAQ used the platform to address long-standing rumors that Joana Coffie sacrificed her education and savings to fund his business and studies abroad.

Pre-Marriage Wealth: RNAQ insisted he was already financially stable before the union. "I started my business before I married her... I spent a lot of money marrying her. If I didn't have money, I couldn't have married her because we had a very luxurious wedding," he stated.

Dismissing the Claims: He urged the public to be skeptical of social media commentary, asserting that "99% of what you’ve heard is not true."

Self-Funded Union: He emphasized that he independently financed their wedding, citing its "luxurious" nature as proof of his pre-existing wealth.

The Legal Battle: High Court vs. Appeal

While RNAQ maintains he was the sole provider, court documents from the Dansoman High Court present a different perspective from Joana Coffie:
