Renowned gospel artiste, Obaapa Christy, has shared her views on the ongoing debate regarding whether it is appropriate for pastors or Christians to sing secular songs.
This discussion stems from a viral video showing a Catholic priest singing King Paulata’s ‘Aseda’ song in church.
During an interview on U Sey Weytin with Merqury Quaye, Obaapa Christy expressed her belief that singing secular songs is not inherently wrong.
She emphasized that everyone has a unique mission given to them by God, and this mission can manifest in different forms, including through music.
The award-winning singer pointed out that the content of the song is crucial, as long as it mentions God, it is comparable to the message conveyed in gospel music.
Obaapa Christy urged individuals to focus on their goals and mission in life, rather than getting sidetracked by criticisms and judgment from others.
Drawing from her own experience, Obaapa Christy recalled a situation where she was questioned for dancing to a secular song by artist Kofi Antwi.
However, she highlighted that enjoying secular music does not make one a sinner in the eyes of God.
In conclusion, Obaapa Christy emphasized that God loves everyone, irrespective of the genre of music they choose to listen to or perform.
She encouraged individuals to stay true to themselves and their calling, rather than letting societal norms dictate their actions.
