Renowned Ghanaian gospel artiste, Rev. Edward Kwasi Boateng, has countered Prophet Nigel Gaisie’s claim that gospel musicians are more united than prophets.
It could be recalled that in an interview with GhanaWeb at the funeral of Evangelist Agnes Aba Annan (popularly known as Agaga), the founder of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, asserted that he noticed unity among the gospel music fraternity, even more than among members of the clergy.
However, responding to this in an interview on Akoma FM, Rev. Kwasi Boateng shared his disappointment in the lack of support from fellow musicians during his difficult times in 2024.
He explained being criticised by some, including Diana Asamoah, which he felt undermined the spirit of unity.
“Maybe that is how he sees it, but I don’t see it that way.
“Last year, when I had issues, I was expecting my colleague musicians to rally behind me, but there were those who chastised me. Even when a pastor had gifted me a car, Diana Asamoah had told me to use it as an Uber. This cannot be a spirit of unity,” he said.
Boateng also recounted an incident where a song written by gospel musician, O.J., for two artistes, led to discord between them.
He claimed that preachers exhibit more unity than gospel musicians.
“So, in reply to Prophet Nigel Gaisie, maybe that’s how he sees our industry, but that is not how I see it. I even feel like prophets have more unity than gospel musicians. Even I see prophets being more united than gospel artistes.
“They invite each other to their programmes, but we don’t see that among musicians,” he said.
