Hammer, a music producer, considers the difficult breakup of his marriage in less than five months.

Legendary Ghanaian music producer Hammer, born Edward Nana Poku Osei, candidly discussed his brief marriage and the personal struggles he faced in an exclusive interview on D-Black’s “Uncut” show. Hammer stated, “After the ceremony, we had a mutual understanding to go our separate ways. This is 2004.” He felt that marriage was divine and that he was one of the unlucky ones who wasn’t matched in Heaven. We are great friends because we raised the kids together. It lasted less than five months.”

Speaking candidly about the difficulties in his marriage, Hammer said, “I believe that the problem in my marriage was a common one that many people encounter. We had a child, and I felt it prudent to keep her from returning home as a “born one.” I so continued to believe that it would work even though we were not truly in love with one other in the way that a marriage would be. I chose to marry her conventionally. We had to come to terms with the fact that this wouldn’t work out and that our hurting one other would only worsen the further we went apart. This was evident to us very soon. We can stay close friends because of this.”

Hammer highlighted his dedication to his kids despite the difficulties, saying, “I haven’t remarried. To my kids, I’m married. They are my closest buddies and are stunning. I’ll get married once more. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing a few amazing women, and I’m now seeing one of the best because I don’t want to preempt her motherhood. Right now, my kids are attending college, so till they graduate.”

Hammer, who wed Lydia Konadu Boateng in 2004 and got divorced from her in less than five months, is now looking forward to a time when he can enjoy his relationships with his kids and experience love again.
