Ghanaian gospel and secular musicians guilty of juju use - Jak Alolome The controversy surrounding allegations that
Ghanaian musicians are engaging in voodoo to
promote their music career has gained some
credence with a Kumasi-based gospel musician
corroborating the claim.
Jak Alolome indicates that the situation is not
peculiar to only gospel musicians but that those
in secular music are worse off.
“It is true some gospel musicians are engaging
in juju but those in secular music are also doing
same”, he disclosed.
In a chat on Abusua Mmre with Nana Hemaa, he
observed that the practice is not auguring well
for the music industry stating the he has over the
years resolved not to indulge in such practices
since it is in variance with his religious
beliefs.
“I have heard some of my colleagues are into
Juju but that is not the best for the industry. I
am a true believing Christian and I know God is
the only one who protects me and my music career
and not any other god”, he emphasized.
High-life musician, Dada Kwaku Duah,
affectionately called Dada KD who first made the
allegation revealed that personal hatred among
gospel musicians in Ghana is gradually killing the
industry.
According to him, jealousy and hypocrisy has
crept into gospel in the country with artistes
resorting to voodoo to outwit their colleagues.
