Kwabena Kwabena is a Highlife musician
Ghanaian highlife artiste George Kwabena Adu, popularly known as Kwabena Kwabena, has alleged that there is a deliberate attempt by Ghana’s gospel music industry to suppress his newly released gospel EP, ‘God of Restoration’.
Speaking in an interview with Hitz FM on June 9, 2025, the musician expressed disappointment at what he described as discrimination against “secular” artistes venturing into gospel music.
“It looks as if our gospel fraternity has an issue with a supposed ‘secular’ artiste producing a gospel tune. Is God for you only? I don’t get it,” he said.
Kwabena Kwabena claimed to have received credible information about an orchestrated agenda to ignore his project.
“I know from a very reliable source there’s been a purported agenda in the gospel fraternity not to push this EP,” he revealed.
The artiste, marking over 20 years in the industry, stressed that his project was a personal thanksgiving to God rather than an attempt to please gospel industry gatekeepers.
“I did it to say thank you to the big man up there who has given me the talent to feed my family and sustain my career,” he stated.
Addressing the supposed “gospel caucus” behind the attempted sabotage, Kwabena Kwabena said, “If you’ve decided not to push a gospel project by a secular artiste, that’s your problem. It’s God who will promote what is His.”
