Veteran Highlife musician and TV personality, Akosua Agyapong
Veteran highlife musician and TV personality Akosua Agyapong has criticised what she describes as the hypocrisy of some pastors who preach abstinence but secretly engage in premarital affairs.
Speaking during a discussion on JoyPrime TV on April 10, 2025, on the topic of premarital sex, Agyapong accused certain clergymen of sleeping with their choristers and other church members, yet turning around to preach against fornication.
“Some pastors have already slept with their choristers and ushers. But when a man comes to marry them, the same pastor will say, ‘No sex before marriage!’” she said.
Her issue with such pastors, she explained, stems from the fact that they continue to enjoy the trust of their congregations while contradicting their own teachings.
“You can call them fake, but to their congregations, they’re not. If they practised what they preached, I wouldn’t have a problem. But they should stop lying to their members,” she added.
Agyapong’s remarks follow her controversial call for single people to consider having sex before marriage.
According to her, sexual compatibility is crucial for a successful marriage and helps prevent divorce and infidelity.
“Fornication involves consenting adults, but adultery breaks marriages. Sometimes, we make Christianity too hard, people should worship God in truth, not under false restrictions,” she said.
