Mzbel Says Marriage Is “Slavery in Disguise,” Rules Out Ever Getting Married
Ghanaian musician and entrepreneur Mzbel has sparked widespread debate after declaring that she has no intention of getting married, describing marriage as “slavery in disguise” during a candid interview with ZionFelix.
The veteran singer, known for her outspoken personality, explained that traditional expectations placed on women in marriage are incompatible with her lifestyle and beliefs. According to Mzbel, she cannot imagine herself performing household chores such as cooking, cleaning, and serving a husband simply because she is married.
“I can’t do house chores for any man, so I will never marry,” she stated, emphasizing that she values her independence and prefers relationships that do not come with what she considers burdensome domestic obligations.
Mzbel argued that every adult should be capable of taking care of themselves and that she sees little benefit in entering a marital union that would require her to conform to traditional gender roles. While she remains open to romantic relationships, she stressed that marriage is not part of her future plans.
Her remarks have generated mixed reactions on social media. Some users praised her honesty and commitment to personal freedom, while others disagreed with her characterization of marriage, arguing that successful marriages are built on partnership, mutual respect, and shared responsibilities rather than servitude.
The interview has reignited conversations about modern relationships, gender expectations, and the evolving views of marriage among younger generations and public figures in Ghana. As discussions continue online, Mzbel’s comments remain one of the most talked-about entertainment stories of the moment.
