Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian gospel singer, Patience Nyarko has taken aim at other gospel performers and business people for not agreeing with Nathaniel Bassey’s recent counsel to Ghanaian gospel singers.
Following criticism from certain Ghanaian gospel artists, such as Celestine Donkor, Patience Nyarko voiced her dissatisfaction with what she saw as inconsistencies in the gospel music community.
Recalling a similar situation from four years prior, she urged her peers to concentrate on singing in their own tongues, stressing that the calling of gospel artists is not about language but rather dedication to their art.
Patience Nyarko questioned the consistency of her fellow musicians, pointing out that when she voiced the same concerns in 2019, she received backlash, including disparaging remarks from media personality Abeiku Santana.
In a Facebook live session, she said, “I was expecting him (Abeiku Santana) to have done better, but he came out to say things I can’t even say to him or his kid. So why are you guys now fighting Nathaniel Bassey? Don’t you agree with him now? Have you seen that you guys are hypocrites? Have you seen what God is doing to you? You have been disgraced.”
Nathaniel Bassey, a Nigerian gospel music star, had suggested during a concert in Accra that Ghanaian gospel musicians should produce more songs in English to reach a global audience.
