She revealed, &#8220;I tend to keep to myself, so when something gets to be too much for me, I just withdraw.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust because you see somebody doing secular music doesn\u2019t mean that they don\u2019t believe in God or in a higher power,\u201d she stated. Sefa explained that spirituality is a personal journey, often kept private. \u201cGod is in the heart; it\u2019s not about doing too much outside,\u201d she added, highlighting the importance of personal belief over public perception.<\/p>\n<p>Sefa also acknowledged that self-acceptance can be difficult, especially after dedicating so much to public expectations. \u201cIt hasn\u2019t been easy, but I\u2019m trying,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>The talented artist has made her return with a new track featuring Camido, titled \u201cAll Over,\u201d signaling her commitment to both her artistry and personal growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog is managed by the content creator and not GhanaWeb, its affiliates, or employees.
