The 2019 Ghana Awards ‘UK-Based Uncovered Artiste of the Year’ also stressed that being a Christian doesn’t mean one must look desolate just to preach humility. To him, a number of people criticise him for his appearance but a lot of people also admire his fashion sense.
“If you are a Christian, it doesn’t mean you should be dressing in that typical way. Others criticise [me] that why are you wearing these expensive clothes. It is too much expensive”, the artiste stated.
Samuel Séy feels that individuals, irrespective of their faith, should be allowed to wear what they like as long as they can afford it. He added that there is no crime if a gospel artiste decides to buy a wristwatch worth $150,000 just like Nigerian singer Davido did.
