She has a great talent\u2026 Her style of dressing is not new to us. She was covered during her album launch. So find out her reason and just show love. I mind my business but this is not something I\u2019d condemn. People nicodemusly watch performance after criticizing her. She has a management so leave her to do her thing,\u201d the Ghanaian UK-based gospel musician noted.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CoDuWp9xC-4\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But making a submission on Hitz FM\u2019s Daybreak Hitz, Wednesday, Kwesi Ennin described Sonnie Badu\u2019s posture as \u201cunfortunate\u201d as he argued that he least expected a man of his caliber to defend immorality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Ebony was his sister and happens to go on stage with this kind of dress, how would he talk to the sister? Ebony is on my Kwahu show slated for 26th December so you could see that nobody hates Ebony. I won\u2019t put her on my bill if I hated her. But we are very much concerned because morality is very important in our showbiz. We are not hypocrites by talking about it. Talking about it has shaped the girl. I watched her dressing when she was launching her concert and you could see some amount of decorum had been injected in the lady.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat baffles me is that he is a man of God. He is supposed to at least, add some amount of words into shaping the girl instead of trying to paint all of us as satans. I find it very unfortunate. We should be able to chastise anybody who would want to go naked in the name of showbiz. If Sonnie Badu thinks we are hypocrites, I\u2019d prefer to be a hypocrite in this direction than allow Ebony go wayward,\u201d the Media Excel boss noted.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FL41jjPqHbo\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 updated by: 49 --><\/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, 13 December 2017 Source: abrantepa.com 2017-12-13 Sonnie Badu Artiste manager and Chief Executive Officer of Media Excel, Ernest Kwesi Ennin has slammed gospel musician, Sonnie Badu for jumping to the defense of Ebony and suggesting that critics of her raunchy dressing as hypocrites.
