Joana Quaye and RNAQ jointly established Quick Credit – Godfred Dame

The legal team of Joana Quaye has laid out what it says is documented evidence of her role in building the business empire of her ex-husband, Richard Nii Armah Quaye, as their dispute continues to unfold publicly.

This response comes in the wake of growing public debate over the origins of Quaye’s wealth, particularly after he insisted during the Delay Show interview that he built his success independently.

In a detailed press statement released on Monday, April 27, 2026, lawyers from Dame and Partners stressed that Joana and Quaye jointly established Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011, shortly after their marriage, an assertion they say is backed by court records.

“Similarly, the record of the joint establishment of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011 by the couple after their marriage, with both Richard Nii Armah Quaye and Joana Quaye being the original shareholders,” the statement read.

The legal team also revealed that the allegations made by Armah Quaye were false, stating that he was unemployed and not wealthy before the pair got married.

“We state that the fact of the marriage between the parties in 2010, soon after Richard Quaye’s return from a short stay in the United Kingdom in 2009 (at a time that he was unemployed and had none of the properties he owns), is a matter of public record,” the statement added.

The interview itself was triggered by months of public scrutiny following their divorce settlement, with many questioning whether Joana received a fair share, given claims she supported Quaye during his early struggles.

However, her legal team maintains that the facts surrounding the marriage and business ventures are already captured in court documents and cannot be altered by public commentary.
