And there he goes again, Counsellor Lutterodt has labelled some gospel artists as a pure waste of time. Cwesi Oteng, SP Kofi Sarpong and Nicholas Omane Acheampong per Lutterodt’s judgement do not matter in the industry.
He told this to Lexis Bill on the Behind the Fame on Drive Time on Joy FM.
Controversial gospel artiste, Nicholas Omane Acheampong popularly known as Tabitha Kum says he is happy former president, Mahama calmly conceded defeat.
Further adding that, the transition was only smooth because Nana was destined to be the president and it was God’s true will.
We know him for his exceptional style of music making but not as a joker.
Award winning Ghanaian Gospel musician, Nicholas Omane Acheampong, says he has a remote a control for his hair.
‘Leave it all to Jesus’ and Matthew 18:21-22 sates that, “Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.”
So we gotta ask if Nicholas Omane Acheampong has read the above Bible quote…
Nicholas Omane Acheampong has slammed fellow gospel musicians for their lack of originality. The Tabitha Kum singer lashed out at the current breeds of gospel singer for being too lazy to write their own music. “Most of our Gospel musicians are doing great, but the majority of them are being lazy,” he dished out … Read more
Gospel Musician, Nicholas Omane Acheampong says money should not be the first priority to gospel musicians but rather concentrate and focus on their careers and also help win more souls for Christ.
The ‘Tabitha Kum’ singer said, the image or the likeliness of God should reflect on the work of gospel musicians because they doesn’t sing to praise themselves or ladies as circular musicians do; but is to praise God and encourage others to do same.
Three female gospel musicians were sharing their stories about how they started their journey into gospel music among others. One very notable question the presenter asked was the rewards/benefits/monetary gains that come with being a gospel singer.
The answer each of them gave was quite the same, and it got me thinking, to quote (not word for word though) “We don’t sing for the money, it is our way of evangelism. The way a pastor or individuals will draw people to Christ through sharing the word of God, we do ours through music ministry. It’s doing God’s work.” If I say I believed them, I will be lying big time, but hey………
The recent happenings between gospel musicians Nicholas Omane Acheampong and Cwesi Oteng somehow does not reflect singing as a form of ‘evangelism’ and ‘not for money’ slogan the gospel artistes are making us to believe.
The hullabaloo started after the Ghana Music Awards 2013 nominations were announced. One party says they deserve the artistes of the year but not the other. The ‘issue’ was even discussed and dissected on various radio stations in Ghana with one claiming his song is more popular and widely accepted than the other.
Nicholas Omane Acheampong, on Peace Fm’s Entertainment Review made strong claims that his song was far popular in Ghana than that of Cwesi, “I do not have a problem with the young man at all. You can go out there and compare ‘Zaphenath Panea’ album to ‘Mercy Project’ album and tell me which is selling.
If you start from the North of Ghana right down to the South, everyone knows my ‘Zaphenath Panea song but with Cwesi, I don’t think if you go beyond Greater Accra where people know him and his songs…Yet he was nominated for Artiste of the Year and Album of the Year categories. Go to the market and ask for Cwesi Oteng’s album. You would either not get it, or find it in very few stores, yet he was nominated for Artiste of the Year and Album of the Year.”
