Wanlov The Kubolor has admitted that his 11-year-old daughter has a crush on a different young woman.
The well-known LGBTQ+ activist and musician from Ghana says he sees nothing wrong with that. Wanlov asserts that, regardless of gender, he fully supports his daughter’s right to love whomever she chooses.
The FOKN Bois band member said that his daughter’s mother informed him of the circumstance, and that he is wholly fine with it.
“I have a daughter who is currently infatuated with another girl. I don’t see anything wrong with that. She likes this girl, and that’s what her mother told me. She is eleven,” he disclosed.
As part of GhanaWeb’s Talkertainment program, Doreen Abanema Abayaa and Wanlov discussed what it means to be “queer.” Wanlov defined what being “queer” means. He claimed that the phrase is frequently used as a catch-all to refer to everyone who identifies as LGBTQ+.
“This includes people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and more,” he said. One of the few Ghanaian celebrities who has publicly advocated for LGBTQ rights in Ghana is Sister Derby’s brother.
Wanlov has publicly called out Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, and all other celebrities who have remained silent about the Ghanaian debate over the anti-LGBTQ+ bill.
If the anti-LGBT legislation, formally known as the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill 2021, is passed, offenders could spend up to ten years in prison, depending on the crime.
He called rapper Sarkodie, dancehall singer Shatta Wale, and all other musicians who have remained silent about the bill cowards in the song “Weak Fools” from 2021, adding that history would judge them.
“Fuck Shatta Wale, fuck Sarkodie, fuck all of you cowards,” he fired in the hip-hop song. “We dey move Ghana forward your hypocrisy so backwards.”
The bill, he said, is evil and will have an impact on everyone who keeps quiet. He added that after the bill is passed, the police will harass those who wear earrings.
“Your gay friends n family members u claim to love dey watch u/Dey see how u no talk some give dem one day dey go kai you/This evil anti advocacy bill go touch we all/Wear one earring see if koti [police] no go ask for something small,” he fired.
