King Paluta defends 'Aseda' song amidst controversy over Catholic bishop's apology

Ghanaian musician King Paluta has addressed recent criticisms surrounding his popular song "Aseda," asserting that the track is not detrimental to the youth. 

His comments come in response to a recent incident where a Catholic bishop apologised for singing the song during a church service.

In a recent interview on Okay FM, King Paluta expressed solidarity with the bishop, stating that he stands by the pastor amidst the controversy. 

He lamented the negative attention the song has received, emphasizing that "Aseda" is meant to inspire positive values, not harm.

"So, to that particular pastor, I will tell him that we are in this together, but when I see things like this, it saddens me because Aseda is not a song that will destroy the youth in the community," King Paluta said. 

"The children will end up growing up singing about forgiveness. So, growing up with that kind of mentality is not bad; they will grow to become responsible people. But I know, at the end of the day, we are all humans, so these things will happen,” he added.
