Reggie Zippy’s ex-wife makes fresh allegations over £6,000 child maintenance arrears

Edith Ward, the ex-wife of Ghanaian musician Reggie Zippy, has taken to social media to express her frustration and disappointment with the Hiplife artiste, accusing him of tarnishing her image online.

Edith’s frustration with her former husband stems from what she claims has been his repeated use of social media over the years to make a series of allegations against her.

According to her, Reggie Zippy has been leveraging social media to seek public sympathy, attack her, and claim that she does not allow him access to their children.

She alleged that Reggie recently took to social media ahead of their daughter’s birthday, claiming she had refused him access to the child and that he wanted to know what she wanted for her birthday.

She said Reggie also claimed he hadn't seen his daughter since her birthday in 2024.

Reggie's comments read, “My daughter, Dior, will be 12 years old exactly a week today, and I want to celebrate her. I wish I could know what she wants for her birthday. I am not able to stay in communication with her or have her phone number. The last time I saw her was at her 10th birthday in 2024, and since then, I haven’t seen her.

“For that year, what she requested for her birthday was an iPad, so I got her a brand-new pink iPad, which I was hoping I could use to communicate with her.”

However, following the emergence of Reggie's rants on social media, Edith, in a Facebook post on November 13, 2026, said she is tired of him constantly dragging her name through the mud.

She explained that the musician failed to contact her before sharing the video on social media and alleging that she had prevented him from having access to their children.

Edith further noted that the best birthday gift the musician could give his daughter was to stop using their lives to seek public sympathy and spreading false narratives about her.

“My children are not social media content. Their birthdays are not opportunities for public performances. Their private lives are not material for online engagement. And I will no longer remain silent when their lives are repeatedly exposed in this way. So, as our daughter’s birthday approaches, I want to say one final thing.

“The biggest gift you can give your daughter and her siblings in 2026 is to stop using their lives for public sympathy, stop spreading false narratives about their mother, and finally allow them to enjoy their childhood without being dragged into adult conflicts. They deserve privacy,” she said.

Edith further alleged that Reggie Zippy had failed to fully provide for their children, adding that taking care of them goes beyond making promises on social media.

She also claimed that Zippy has accumulated £6,000 in child maintenance arrears.

She further stated that his current child maintenance assessment stood at £6.72 per week for their two children under the age of 18.

“The father of my children has accumulated over £6,000 in child maintenance arrears. He is now on STATE BENEFITS, and as a result, his current child maintenance assessment is just £6.72 per week for our two children under 18.

“Imagine publicly presenting yourself as a father willing to buy your children anything, whilst behind closed doors, the assessed contribution towards their everyday upbringing is so minimal, with thousands of pounds in outstanding maintenance. Children do not live on birthday presents, social media declarations, or public performances of fatherhood. They need food, clothing, a home, education, stability, and consistent financial and emotional support,” she added.
