I am a Christian artiste. People want that, and I am not interested. I was not called to establish that. I am pushing a Christ agenda that is heavenly\u2026\u201d Cwesi maintained.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Christian\u2019 artiste further lambasted people who dislike others to express their opinion about subjects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have a lot of nonsense to face.
