Luvman Allison, the father of daughter Mona Montrage aka Hajia 4Reall has revealed the circumstances that led to the estrangement in his relationship with the socialite.
In a statement shared by Gh Gossip 24, Alison, who was implicated by Mona during her recent trial in the US, detailed their meeting and attributed their breakup to her disorderly lifestyle, including her involvement with a musician who was his friend.
“Mona and I met through a mutual friend during my time in America. As a proud Ghanaian, I welcomed most of my fellow Ghanaians who visited her on vacation. I was unaware of her status and fame in Ghana at the time. Mona and I became close as she confided in me her life and ambitions.
I admired her determination to improve herself and leave her fast lifestyle behind. During her visit to the United States, we became even closer and I sympathized with her as I had my own difficult experiences, including an arrest in 2010 during my youth,” he said.
While denying her claims that he lured her into love affairs, Alison said that he and Mona broke up as a result of her promiscuity.
“I have never been involved in romantic scams or scams. Our relationship was troubled, partly due to warnings about Mona’s promiscuous lifestyle. Nevertheless, we welcomed our beautiful daughter. However, our relationship deteriorated further when the Mona’s involvement with an artist who was also my friend led us to go our separate ways in November 2017,” he said.
Mona, who was recently jailed for a year and a day for a romance scam in the US, had accused her dad of forcing her into his schemes while abusing her in their relationship.
However, Allison has maintained his innocence of the allegations, adding that he wishes to deal with the matters privately.
Read his full statement below:
The recent accusations against me have left not only myself but many others confused by the misunderstanding surrounding my character. I am a man in few words: honest, humble and disciplined in my principles and identity. The recent allegations made by my daughter’s mother are not surprising given their source, but they deeply concern me. Mona and I share a beautiful daughter, who remains an important part of my life. I have invested both financially and physically in her well-being.
Mona and I met through a mutual friend during my stay in America. As a proud Ghanaian, I welcomed most of my Ghanaian colleagues who were visiting for holidays. I was not aware of the status and reputation of har in Ghana at that time. Mona and I grew close as she confided in me about her life and her aspirations. I admired her determination to improve herself and leave her fast lifestyle behind. During her visit to the United States, we became even closer, and I empathize with her as I have had my own difficult experiences, including an arrest in 2010 during my youth.
However, I have never been involved in romance scams or wire fraud schemes.
Our relationship was troubled, partly due to warnings about Mona’s promiscuous lifestyle.
Nevertheless, we welcomed our beautiful daughter. However, our relationship further deteriorated when Mona’s engagement with an artist, who was also my friend, led us to part ways in November 2017. Although she decided to return to Ghana, I continued to support her and our child, ensuring they are fed and housed. As a devoted father, it pains me to see her lies put me in a position where I have to defend myself publicly.
I was detained and deported to Ghana in 2019 due to changes in US immigration law affecting non-US citizens. I came home with pride and diligence. Furthermore, and most importantly, I have never abused Mona in any way, nor have I forced her into fraudulent activities. Mona is fully aware of how and who was involved in such schemes. I enrolled her in a fashion school in America to help her improve her life, but she didn’t follow through. Despite our strained relationship, I continued to make positive changes and support her, even after she faced similar charges in Ghana.
The inconsistencies in the chronology of events will show that I neither had nor could have had any involvement or proximity to the criminal in which Mona was actively involved and accused.
I will not allow my life to be marred by her false accusations. She lives for her image, but I live to protect my integrity. I am a very private person but Mona’s actions have put me in a negative spotlight full of lies. This has to stop. This statement is not to prove anything, but to protect myself from the lies being spread about me.
Hopefully this is the first and last time I will have to discuss this matter in public. I am sorry that my daughter may be exposed to these issues in the future. My hope is to resolve everything privately
