“First of all, what is gospel? It simply means preaching the good news and most of the secular songs we have around do that. Take Highlife musician Amakye Dede’s Bebrebe Yi for example.That song is a complete gospel song. Just check out the lyrics and the message it carries. You cannot tell me that song is not preaching good news.
“And he is not the only one. There are loads of them out there, such as Kofi Kinaata, who have great songs that can be considered gospel,” he added.
He continued; “I don’t mind performing with secular musicians or inviting them to perform at my church. After all, collabos are a form of evangelism. We are all winning souls for God and if it will take a secular artiste with numbers to do that, I don’t have a problem with that at all. God can use anyone to win souls for Him. The person does not necessarily have to be a man of God or a gospel musician.”
