Gospel musician Jack Alolome has spoken out about the persistent divisions within Ghana’s gospel music scene, claiming he’s been personally affected.
Speaking in an interview with Okay FM, Alolome recounted being turned down by a colleague who refused to feature on his song simply because the track was destined to be a hit.
“That person told me he wouldn’t because it would be a hit and I would get all the fame, so he wouldn’t work with me,” he said.
He also shared how he once assisted a fellow musician by arranging for a bank manager friend to provide documentation for him to travel out.
Ironically, when a separate contact offered to help Alolome obtain a visa to pursue international opportunities, his earlier colleague reportedly sabotaged him.
“I never considered travelling out because I didnt see any reason to, and I didn’t have anyone to host me if I went.
“But when the opportunity came, I just decided to do so anyway. So I went for my documents and came back only to be shocked when the person said that my colleague, whom I had earlier helped, had called him to tell him not to process my visa for me because I would not return,” he said.
Alolome’s comments come amid those of various other gospel musicians who have shared their experiences in the industry, especially with tales of sabotage, spiritual attacks and jealousy.
