Ogyaba, Diana Asamoah trade words over Baaba Cann curses saga

The intersection of gospel music, religious ministry, and entertainment punditry in Ghana has once again erupted into a bitter public feud, this time between gospel musician Diana Asamoah and Prophet Ogyaba. The latest clash stems from a highly publicized controversy involving the clergyman, who recently faced allegations of engaging in a threesome and subsequently directed heavy curses at entertainment pundit Baaba Cann during a widely circulated video. Weighing in on the saga during a broadcast on Angel FM, Diana Asamoah delivered a scathing critique of the pastor, questioning his spiritual authenticity and accusing him of exploiting Christianity and the name of God for selfish gain.

Addressing the specific incident where Ogyaba rained curses on the entertainment pundit, the gospel musician argued that his actions were fundamentally unchristian and unbiblical. She described him as a self-acclaimed pastor who lacks the spiritual maturity to leave judgment to God. According to Asamoah, a true man of God who actually reads and understands the Bible would never weaponize his faith to curse a critic simply for expressing an opinion during a television interview. She challenged the theological basis of his actions, mocking his use of items like schnapps and eggs to pronounce curses, and warned him of the spiritual consequences of his behavior. She asserted that if the pundit is indeed a true Christian, the curses Ogyaba pronounced would inevitably bounce back and affect him instead.

The public rebuke from a fellow prominent figure in the gospel industry did not go unanswered. In a swift and deeply personal retaliation, Prophet Ogyaba released a video online directing severe insults at Diana Asamoah. Abandoning any pastoral restraint, he attacked her personal life, labeling her a sick and barren woman who has failed to have children. He urged her to focus on getting married and having a family rather than passing judgment on his ministry, claiming that her judgment is reserved for Heaven. To further dismiss her criticism, he invoked scripture, stating that the Bible suggests it is not good for a preacher to be in the same place as someone like her, effectively attempting to invalidate her right to critique his conduct.

This escalating war of words highlights a troubling trend within certain segments of the local religious and entertainment spheres, where theological disputes and personal grievances quickly devolve into ad hominem attacks. While Diana Asamoah framed her critique around the ethical and spiritual responsibilities of a pastor, Ogyaba’s response bypassed the theological argument entirely in favor of deeply personal insults regarding her marital and maternal status. The exchange has left observers questioning the accountability of self-styled religious leaders and the increasingly toxic nature of public disagreements among Ghanaian public figures, as the original issues of alleged moral misconduct and the weaponization of pastoral authority remain overshadowed by a spectacle of mutual character assassination.
