If God has called you to be a musician he will uplift you, the controversies don\u2019t even matter. Doing that will even degrade you as a gospel artiste since you put God aside\u2026\u201d she said on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if she wasn\u2019t guilty of riding on controversy for fame, she said: \u201cChanging name is nothing. A lot of people changed their name in the Bible. If God doesn\u2019t give you the strength and wisdom you can\u2019t. I don\u2019t rely solely on myself\u2026\u201d she maintained.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of this, the \u2018Agye Won Nsam\u2019 hit maker cautioned players in the gospel industry to close their ears to rumours that circulate in the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t need to listen to what people say. If you do that you will never progress. What you might be thinking will be different from others\u2026\u201d she indicated.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 15 November 2017 Source: adomonline.com 2017-11-15 Gospel songstress, Obaapa Christy Gospel songstress, Obaapa Christy has advised Ghanaian gospel musicians who deliberately ride on controversies for fame to stop.
