A photo of Lord Kenya- real name, Abraham Philip Akpor Kojo Kenya has been shared online.
The rapper despite his conversion to Christianity and assuming an evangelical role thereafter still has his name etched in the annals of Ghana music as one of the finest Ghanaian rappers of all time.
Speaking about how he decided to ditch his former personality and become a man of God, Lord Kenya previously told Graphic in 2018 how God revealed himself to him.
“I have been a born again Christian for four years now. I had a revelation in my third year that by my fifth anniversary in the Lord, I would be head pastor of a church. I’m waiting on the Lord to fulfil his promise to me.

“ I need a place where the people I reach out to such as the drug addicts, prisoners and others, can come to listen to the ministry of God,” he said.
“My friends and people close to me initially doubted I was telling the truth when I announced four years ago that I had received a calling from God and had become a born-again Christian”, he said.

Lord Kenya said many people initially felt it was just a phase he was going through and his conversion was going to be short-lived.
“It’s not difficult to see why they thought I would not last as a Christian. Looking at the life I was living previously, I think they were justified to believe my calling was just a flash in the pan. That is the system of the world so I was not surprised at all,” he said.
