Ghanaian media personality and entertainment pundit, Nana Romeo has claimed that the majority of gospel songs being produced in the country lack meaning.
He said this in reaction to critics who questioned why Ghanaian Highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena had released a gospel song.
On United Showbiz on September 7, 2024, Nana Romeo, while voicing his opinions on the hypocrisy within the gospel music industry, defended Kwabena Kwabena, stating that the artiste's work has more meaning than many current gospel songs in Ghana.
“You will be surprised that on the day of judgement, those who do not look righteous would rather get into heaven than those who do.
“People are wondering why Kwabena Kwabena, who sings Highlife music, is composing a gospel song but I can tell you that Kwabena Kwabena’s recent gospel song makes more sense than a lot of gospel songs in the country currently.”
He added “A lot of gospel songs in this Ghana are meaningless, there is no sense in them, but because the people who composed them identify as gospel musicians, we allow them.”
He praised Kwabena Kwabena's gospel song for its message and challenged critics to find a gospel song with more sense.
Nana Romeo concluded by reiterating his belief that it will be surprising to see who ultimately enters heaven.
“There are gospel musicians in this country engaged in a lot of atrocities, no one says anything. But Kwabena Kwabena composes a gospel song and they want to talk? I was touched by the song. Show me one gospel song that has more sense than this.
“That’s why I said that it will be shocking when those we expect to get to heaven don’t while those we don’t expect rather enter,” he said.
