Entertainment pundit Arnold Asamoah has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding the Russian man popularly nicknamed the “Atopa King,” stating that the ladies involved must also take responsibility for their choices.
“He Didn’t Force Anyone” — Arnold Speaks
According to Arnold Asamoah, the situation should be viewed from a balanced perspective rather than placing the blame entirely on one side.
In his words, “This guy didn’t point a weapon at anyone, neither did he force any of them. He approached them with his usual anthem: ‘What is your name? How old are you? Let me show you where I stay. Follow me.’”

Arnold emphasized that from what has been publicly discussed, there was no visible force or coercion involved in the initial interactions.
The Major Issue: Secret Filming and Online Exposure
However, Arnold was clear that the major wrongdoing lies in the alleged recording and publication of intimate encounters without consent.
“The only issue is him videoing them and posting it online,” he added.
The controversy escalated after videos allegedly showing the Russian national secretly filming encounters with young Ghanaian women surfaced online, triggering widespread outrage.

While public opinion remains divided, Arnold’s comments have sparked renewed debate about personal responsibility, consent, and digital privacy in the social media era.
Public Debate Intensifies
The scandal continues to trend across Ghana’s entertainment and social media spaces, with some supporting Arnold’s stance on accountability, while others argue that the focus should remain on consent and the legality of secretly recording and distributing intimate content.
As investigations unfold, one thing is clear: the conversation has moved beyond gossip into serious discussions about privacy, morality, and the law.
