Ghana’s controversial female Highlife artiste, Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah appears to be courting the displeasure of some Christians with the way she goes about things and as a result, claims most don’t like her
Mzbel, as she is affectionately called on Kumasi based Light Fm in an interview monitored by MyNews, said some Christians go to the extent of even insulting her in the name of their religion.
“I know lots of Christians don’t like me”, she said. “I was once a Christian and I know Christianity doesn’t teach that” she added
The 16-year-old singer was discussing a love song written for her by popular Christian musician, Patient Nyarko which is yet to be recorded.
According to Mzbel, though she is ok with the song, she knows for sure some Christians who don’t like her will definitely attack Patience Nyarko for taking such a decision because some Christians hate her.
When asked how she feels about Patience’s decision to write a highlife song for her, she said, “It’s normal for me. I don’t clearly see the difference between Gospel Music and Highlife. Music is music, the only thing that makes the difference is the message”, she clarified
Speaking about her friend Gospel musician, Mzbel described Patience as somebody who can sing and write.
“So far as I’m concerned it cool for me but I know when the song is going to be released. Some members of her church who disagree will criticize. I know these are going to come but I’m not too much concerned about that”, she said.
“Nobody can attack me but for her, I know people will not be happy with her for writing a love song for me because lots of them don’t like me”
Citing instances, Mzbel said a Christian she refused to name, had hurled insults at her on radio program just a day before granting her interview with Light FM.
Mzbel later challenged people to prove her wrong should she say anything which is in contrary to the teachings of their religion.
