Kwaw Kese is a Ghanaian musician
Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese has opened up about the public perception he faces as a secular musician who actively attends church.
Speaking in an interview with Doreen Avio on Hitz FM on February 16, 2026, Kwaw Kese mentioned that many people are often surprised to see him in church.
“People will be stealing glances whenever I go to church and they will be wondering if I’m actually the one. It’s a nice feeling when you socialize with a group of people to share the word of God,” he said.
Kwaw Kese explained that because he does not perform gospel music, many assume he is not religious.

“Being a musician and not singing gospel, people just assume you’re a worldly person. They don’t attach you to religion because we sing worldly songs,” he stated.
He also noted that his dreadlocks contribute to the stereotypes people have about him.
“Also, the fact that I have dreadlocks on, people have their own perceptions about us,” he shared.
Despite the assumptions, the rapper believes his relationship with God is strong.
“To me, I know I’m closer to God than most of the people who go to church,” Kwaw Kese added.
