I will rather invest in my soul than fix my body - Celestine Donkor

Popular Ghanaian Gospel artiste Celestine Donkor has debunked claims that she was undergoing weight loss surgery stating that she would rather invest her money in her soul.

Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM on April 25, 2024, she acknowledged that she sees nothing bad with procedures like weight loss surgeries if they are done for health purposes.

“As an artiste who is always in the face of people, you want to appear nice. So, I did extensive reading about it, and I realised that sometimes these surgeries are recommended… So I wouldn't say that I would do it," she said.

Celestine Donkor, however, stated that instead of using any money to fix her body, she would use it to invest in her soul.

“For me personally, if I have GHC40,000 or GHC50,000 to work on my body, I would invest in my soul, because this body will perish one day.

“No matter how slim and nicely carved your body is, it will be buried in the ground one day. The one that will not die is your soul. So, we spend much on looking good, and our soul looks really terrible," she said.

Celestine expressed a desire to use her resources for lasting impact, suggesting she would rather support orphans in need than spend money on cosmetic changes.

“But you look okay, and you still decide to save GHC50,000 plus to put your body in shape for people? That would not be an option for me.

"I would rather invest in some poor orphans who need that GHC50,000. Because this body will die one day,” she said.
