Efya, a musician from Ghana, has emphasized her status as a child of God despite her career and way of life as a secular artist.
Efya took advantage of the opportunity to dispel the myth that secular musicians are not interested in sharing the gospel through their music during an interview with Berla Mundi on TV3’s The Day Show.
Efya described a situation in which she experienced harsh criticism for working with a gospel musician.
She expressed her frustration and said “I did a song with the gospel artist, and they came at me and her, asking why she would collaborate with a secular artist like me. This is what I’m talking about.”
“What’s that about? Can I not do gospel music? Are we serious? I am a Child of God. What are you saying? I have the power in me,” she added and revealed that “I went to Bible School. You can’t know Bible more than me.”
Secular musicians shouldn’t be automatically associated with being evil, according to Efya. The singer pleaded with her detractors to change their perspectives.
Meanwhile, in other news, the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) organizers, Charterhouse Production Ltd, have refuted Amakye Dede’s recent allegations that he was forced into naming Kuami Eugene as the country’s next king of highlife.
Robert Klah, the head of public events and communication at Charterhouse, claimed on the Asaase Breakfast Show on June 15 that they had no involvement in planning the crowning session in response to Amakye Dede’s revelation.
“We did not orchestrate any crowning session. So I am a bit lost when it comes to the assertion that event organisers are responsible,”
He emphasized that although they give artists and their teams a stage to perform on during the VGMA, the specifics and actions during the ceremony are not directly under their direct control or supervision.
