Award-winning Ghanaian journalist Israel Laryea has expressed pride in his son, describing him as growing into the man he has always prayed for him to become.

Mr Laryea shared on X, that he deliberately sent his son, Cheyne (Afotey), to the United States of America months ahead of the official start of studies.

The purpose of his decision was for his son to cultivate the attitude of independence.

The broadcaster said, that his son stayed with his aunt and took up a job, during which period he had experiences that helped him develop discipline, punctuality, and a strong sense of responsibility.

Upon his return home, the veteran broadcaster captured what he described as a “parent’s proud moment.”

“With his first earnings, he didn’t come empty-handed, but bought gifts for the whole family,” Laryea shared. “He got me the shirt in the photo plus two others (not my usual style, but now my favorite!).”

The proud father said the gesture was more than just an act of generosity.

“This gesture, his ‘first fruit,’ means more than the gift itself.

“It’s a symbol of his love, responsibility, and the wonderful man he is becoming. God bless you, Afotey,” he wrote.

On a different note about father's and their sons, Reggae and Dancehall artiste, Lawrence Senyo Adiase, popularly known as DSL, has stated that he would not advise his future son to commit to just one woman due to the heartbreaks and emotional struggles that often come with relationships.

According to the Mentor X winner, he has witnessed the devastating effects of love on people, including mental breakdowns and, in extreme cases, loss of life. Based on these experiences, he believes it is unrealistic to expect men to stay with only one woman.

"If I have a son, based on what I’ve seen and experienced in relationships—the heartbreaks, the mental breakdowns, even cases where people have lost their lives over love—I will never tell him, ‘Kwame, Kwesi, Kofi, one woman is enough for you.’ No, one woman is not enough for him," he said on a podcast hosted by Zeinat Issahak.

DSL explained that people who dedicate themselves entirely to one partner often end up emotionally broken.

"When you put your whole heart and mind into one person, they don’t always value it. You can sacrifice everything for them, thinking you are building something meaningful, only to be left heartbroken in the end," he added.

He, however, clarified that his position was not an endorsement of promiscuity but a call for emotional caution in relationships.

"I am not saying people should just go around sleeping with multiple partners. That’s not my point. But based on what I’ve seen and experienced, I wouldn’t advise anyone to invest everything into just one relationship. It’s dangerous emotionally," he explained.

His comments have sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting his view while others argue that true love requires trust and commitment.
