In a notable appearance on the WestAfrica channel, the renowned Guinean musician Sékouba Kandia Kouyaté finally broke his silence regarding his marital situation, a topic that has fueled discussions in Guinea for several months. The son of the legendary Sory Kandia, the artist sought to clarify the rumors surrounding his alleged divorce from his first wife, Sona Tata.
After 25 years of marriage, Sékouba revealed that it was his wife who left the marital home a year ago, contrary to the speculations circulating on social media. With remarkable dignity, he refused to publicly disclose the details of their separation, prioritizing the future of his children and the honor of both families.
During the show Star en ligne, the artist emphasized his unwavering commitment to his family, mentioning the sacrifices he has made to provide quality education for his children. His recent remarriage, which took place after Sona Tata’s departure, aligns with a noble family tradition, far from superficial considerations. "One does not marry a woman for beauty or wealth; one marries for the family lineage," he stated, highlighting the strong ties between his family and that of his new wife, who descends from Hadja Sona and Elhadj Morissanda.
Sékouba Kandia also expressed concern over the role of social media and vloggers in publicizing his private life, calling for greater accuracy in information verification. With wisdom, he concluded, "History will speak and give justice to those who deserve it."
This measured statement from the famous artist reflects his desire to preserve the dignity of all involved while setting the record straight.
