During an episode of Today’s Woman, Celestine expressed her desire for a husband without a ‘heavy’ Ewe surname, a sentiment echoed by Cookie Tee, who joked about not wanting to marry someone with a difficult-to-pronounce Ewe name.
However, the comments, intended as light-hearted banter, faced criticism for allegedly mocking the Ewe tribe.
Cookie Tee clarified during a recent episode of the New Day Show that their remarks were meant to be playful and not offensive.
She offered a sincere apology to the Ewe community and Ghanaians, acknowledging that the joke had been misinterpreted.

Both personalities acknowledged the impact of their words and expressed remorse for any hurt caused.
They reiterated their respect for the Ewe culture and affirmed their commitment to promoting unity and understanding.
