Rex Omar, a well-known highlife artist and producer from Ghana, revealed that he had issues with his religious community because they weren\u2019t supportive of his musical ambitions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He admitted that he even stopped going to church after they refused to provide him financial support so he could record a song that ultimately became popular.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On August 16, 2023, Rex Omar claimed that he encountered difficulties when he wanted to pursue music. He made this statement on the Asaase Breakfast Show. His father was dubious since he believed that musicians were not well-off in those days.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Rex Omar recalled,\u00a0\u201cI used to be involved with the church a lot. We would go for prayers at Atwea Mountain and all that. So, one day I asked my pastor if the church could help fund my recording because I wanted to go to the studio. But the pastor told me that the church board couldn\u2019t provide the funds. That was the moment I decided to stop going to church.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He continued,\u00a0\u201cI found someone outside the church who was willing to support my recording. Surprisingly, that recording, which was a gospel song, became a big hit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rex Omar underlined that despite not going to church, he still has a close relationship with his faith.<\/p>\n
