Throwback Video of Obaapa Christy’s Darker Skin Tone Sparks Reactions Online

A resurfaced video of renowned Ghanaian gospel singer Obaapa Christy, formerly known as Christiana Love, has stirred a buzz on social media. The video, shared by TikTok user @zaygyanpanyinanna, features the award-winning artist performing live at the 2004 Resurrection Praise event.

What captured the attention of many viewers wasn’t just her powerful performance, but her noticeably darker complexion at the time. The contrast between her appearance then and now—where she appears much fairer—sparked curiosity and conversation among fans.

Obaapa Christy, known for timeless gospel hits like W’agye Me and Hyebre Sesafo, was seen passionately ministering with a live band in the video. The clip has gone viral, igniting thousands of reactions and comments. Some social media users were surprised by the transformation, with a few speculating about skin-lightening, while others simply praised her glow-up.

Despite the physical changes, many admirers expressed their respect for her consistency and vocal prowess over the years. The video served as a nostalgic reminder of her humble beginnings and the remarkable journey she has taken to become a leading figure in Ghana’s gospel music scene.

For most fans, the focus remained on her talent and the deep emotional connection her music continues to inspire, rather than her outward appearance.
