Empress Gifty (pictured) has been dragged online over her no GH¢50K, no-show comment
Ghanaian gospel musician, Empress Gifty, has come under ‘heavy’ criticisms following a comment she made concerning her charges for performing.
In a video that went viral on social media on July 16, 2025, Empress Gifty stated that she would not perform at an event unless she is paid at least GH¢50,000.
“As I am standing here, the least I would charge your people is GH¢50,000, and I would take it. If you don’t pay me such an amount, I won’t perform,” she said.
Following her comment, the musician has come under heavy backlash on social media.
According to critics, the gospel musician’s comment was unwarranted.
A netizen noted, “Ah, was that statement she made necessary?”
An account with the name @Ang3linah also noted, “God, please protect Esther Smith for me, ok. She’s the only one left doing this ministry thing right in this so-called gospel industry.”
A socialite also questioned the musician on her contribution to the gospel music industry, noting, “50,000 for what impact, hmmm, then Ben Oko Jr will take 150,000.”
