Highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena claims to have credible information about a deliberate boycott of his new EP by gospel music circles.
According to the singer, this is an unfortunate situation, but he will not be discouraged.
Speaking to Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, Kwabena Kwabena attributed the completion of the God of Restoration EP and his musical journey to God.
“I know, apart from even releasing this EP, from a very reliable source, there’s been a purported agenda in the gospel fraternity not to push this EP. I have news for anybody thinking in that manner. I did it to say thank you to the big man up there who has helped me, given me talent to be able to walk this life with, feed my family, and to be able to be Kwabena Kwabena for 20 years or even more of my life”, he said on Hitz FM.
The artist highlighted that the setting is made to seem as though the gospel fraternity has issues with secular artists attempting to produce gospel tunes.
“It’s very unfortunate, especially in Ghana, after releasing “Bie Kwan”, I try very hard not to follow what people are saying. I hear the things. I hear the comments and it looks as if our gospel fraternity even have an issue with “a supposed” secular artist producing a gospel tune and I don’t get it”, he added.
However, he believes his new project will be divinely pushed with or without the help of the gospel fraternity.
“You don’t know what God has done for me, so allow me to praise my God. I am praising my God, so if you have a certain caucus called the gospel caucus in Ghana and you have decided not to patronise or push a gospel project by a secular artist, that’s your problem. They can choose not to project it because I didn’t do it for them. That is the news I have for them”, he stated.
