Music sensation, Mzbel also known as Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, has firmly stated her reluctance to engage with her former friend and colleague, Iona Reine. Iona’s departure from Mzbel’s record label to form a close bond with Mzbel’s adversary, Afia Schwarzenegger, created a significant buzz on social media.
Mzbel revealed that the fallout with Iona was due, in part, to Iona making their personal matters public while residing in Mzbel’s house, leading to Mzbel’s decision to part ways.

In an unexpected turn, Iona offered a public apology to Mzbel during an exclusive 2023 interview with Akwasi Aboagye on Peace FM. Iona acknowledged her realization that promoting peace among humans is crucial, especially given the current high mortality rate. This apology followed news of Iona’s repentance and a rededication of her life to God.

During the interview, Iona shared her personal growth over the past three years, expressing a genuine desire to avoid conflicts. She used the platform to extend an olive branch to Mzbel, hoping for a resolution that would allow them to interact without tension. Iona emphasized the importance of forgiveness, highlighting the transient nature of life and the futility of holding onto grudges in a world where people face untimely deaths. Her ultimate goal was to live in peace and alleviate the burden on her conscience.
