Edith Ward set out her side of the story in this Facebook post:
Reggie Zippy’s Birthday Post That Started the Latest Row
The latest exchange began when Reggie Zippy posted on social media ahead of his daughter’s birthday, which falls a week after his post. He said he wanted to celebrate her and asked what she would like as a gift.
The musician said he had not been able to stay in touch with her or get her phone number. According to him, the last time he saw her was at her 10th birthday in 2024.
He recalled that she asked for an iPad that year, and he bought her a new pink one, hoping it would help them keep in contact.
Reggie Zippy Makes Fresh Claims in TikTok Live
In a separate TikTok live session, Reggie went further and made a series of allegations against Edith, according to GhanaWeb. None of his claims have been independently verified.
“How do you sack a father?”
Reggie said he paid for Edith’s flights to Ghana for his mother’s funeral. He claimed that about three months later, she asked him to leave the family home, citing his depression.
“How do you sack a father of your only children who has lost his mother?” he asked.
He said he has accepted that the marriage is over and is now in a new relationship. He alleged that Edith became unhappy after he told her about his new partner.
Court claims and access to the children
Reggie alleged that Edith took him to court last year and, in his words, while “faking tears”, told the court she feared for her life because of his mental health. He claimed she raised fears of a possible murder-suicide.
He said he reached out to Edith to speak with their daughter because he did not have the child’s number. According to him, Edith told him he had lied about her, and that this was her reason for taking him to court.
“Do I have my daughter’s number?” he asked, responding to her objection to his posts on the matter.
The singer also accused Edith of praising people he said had mistreated her in the past, and alleged that she smashed a phone he had given their second son when the boy was 14.
Edith Ward Responds: “My Children Are Not Social Media Content”
Edith Ward hit back in a Facebook post on Friday. She said she was tired of Reggie repeatedly dragging her name through the mud and using their children’s lives to draw attention online.
“My children are not social media content,” she wrote.
She said Reggie did not contact her before sharing his video and claiming she had blocked his access to the children. She urged him to stop using them to win public sympathy and to let them enjoy their childhood.
£6,000 child maintenance claim
Edith alleged that Reggie has accumulated more than £6,000 in child maintenance arrears. She said he is now on state benefits and that his current child maintenance assessment is £6.72 per week for their two children under 18.
She added that children need “food, clothing, a home, education, stability” and consistent support, rather than birthday presents or public declarations.
Reggie had not publicly responded to the maintenance claims at the time of writing.
Background to the Reggie Zippy Divorce
Reggie Zippy announced the end of his marriage to Edith after about 15 years together, and the split has played out publicly ever since. The two briefly reunited in November 2024 to celebrate their daughter’s 10th birthday, but relations have since soured again.
In September 2026, Reggie told followers on TikTok “I’m tired” after a hearing in a criminal case brought by the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service was adjourned. He has said he will share his evidence once proceedings end. The details of that case have not been made public.
He is one of several UK-based Ghanaian musicians who built their careers in the diaspora. His dispute adds to a list of celebrity marriage breakups that have played out in public, including actress Chita Agwu’s announcement that her 11-year marriage had ended.
With both parties now trading claims online and their daughter’s birthday days away, fans will be watching to see whether the former couple can settle their differences over the children away from social media.
