Ghanaian artiste turned gospel preacher, Yaw Siki, has disclosed that although he no longer does secular music, he still keeps in touch with some of his old friends in that industry.
Speaking in an interview on MX24 TV, Yaw Siki was asked if switching from secular music to preaching the gospel had affected his friendships.
In response, he explained that while their lifestyles may now be different, he has maintained relationships with a few of them, including rapper Sarkodie.
“Sarkodie is very spiritual; he even always reminded me to pray back then. The last time we were on a programme together, it was his programme in Kumasi. In his hotel room, you could hear him and the family praying in tongues,” Yaw Siki said.
He also mentioned that aside from Sarkodie, he is in contact with other musicians such as Dr Cryme and Stay Jay. However, because their paths and environments are now different, they do not spend as much physical time together as they used to.
The “Wope Dodo” hitmaker emphasised that although they no longer spend time together in person, they still maintain communication through various social media platforms.
“People like Sarkodie, I’m still in contact with him. People like Dr Cryme, Stay Jay, I am still in contact with them, just that we don’t walk together like we used to do before because the places that they would probably go or would be, I wouldn’t be there, and they wouldn’t also be in the atmosphere where I would want to be in. So, because of that, there isn’t much physical togetherness.
“From a distance, through WhatsApp and Twitter, we are in touch,” he explained.
