Stella Aba Seal
Multiple award-winning gospel musician Stella Aba Seal has revealed that she lost two jobs early in her career after refusing to give in to inappropriate demands from her bosses.
Speaking in an interview with Kafui Dey, which was shared on X on February 27, 2026, the veteran singer recounted how the conditions attached to her employment made her uncomfortable.
According to her, both of her first two bosses expected her to spend time with them after working hours — a request she consistently declined because it conflicted with her values.
“The first two bosses, I didn’t like either of them because of the kind of conditions they attached to the job. After work, they would say, ‘Let’s go and sit somewhere and have a beer.’ I told them, ‘We’ve closed for the day. I have things to do. I have to go home. I’m not going to sit out when I have to go to church,’” she said.
Stella Aba Seal explained that her refusal to comply ultimately cost her those positions.
“That’s how I lost those two jobs. One of them told me, ‘If you’re not willing to go out with me after work, then I can’t work with you.’ I said, ‘Fine,’ and I walked away,” she recounted.
The gospel artist also cautioned men who demand sexual favours from women seeking employment, describing the practice as exploitative and harmful.
“If a young woman is looking for a job, please don’t do that. What do you gain from it? It doesn’t even happen just once; anytime they feel like it, they ask. I’ve even heard that when the ladies get married and become pregnant, they still demand it,” she stated.
She further warned of consequences for such actions.
“Whatever you sow, you will reap. Take it from me, that pain will follow you. And if you, the boss, do not reap it yourself, it will follow your children,” she added.
