  • ‘I don’t touch someone’s wife’ – Archbishop Adonten Boateng denies affair with Obaapa Christy

    ‘I don’t touch someone’s wife’ – Archbishop Adonten Boateng denies affair with Obaapa Christy

    Archbishop Kofi Adonten Boateng, who has been accused of having an affair with gospel musician Obaapa Christy, has once again spoken out on the matter.

    This is the second time the US-based pastor has addressed the allegations, which he says have deeply affected him.

    The controversy began when Pastor Love, Obaapa Christy’s former husband, accused her of infidelity during their marriage, claiming she had been involved with several men of God, including Archbishop Boateng.

    In response to these accusations, the Archbishop has firmly denied any romantic involvement, expressing disappointment at how some have used the situation to tarnish his reputation.

    Currently in Ghana, Archbishop Boateng reiterated in a recent interview with Kingdom FM’s Fiifi Pratt that his relationship with Obaapa Christy was strictly platonic.

    He explained that her music was a source of comfort to him during a difficult time in his life, and there was never any romantic connection between them.

    “There was a difficult time in my life, and it was Obaapa Christy’s songs that I cried with. In this life, there are two things no man should touch: someone else’s belongings and someone else’s wife. It doesn’t end well,” he stated.

    He affirmed his commitment to his own marriage, saying, “I’ve got a wife; I cannot go after someone else’s. I am young and handsome, so I definitely I’ll have someone.”

    Discussing how he met Obaapa Christy, he explained, “I met a music producer and asked for gospel musicians to grace an event of mine. He invited Obaapa Christy and others. When she came, I treated her with respect and care, just as I do for everyone. I love people and humanity.”

    Despite the allegations from Pastor Love, Archbishop Boateng expressed his respect for him.

    “When it comes to longevity in ministry, I can boldly say that I am Pastor Love’s child, so I’ll treat this issue with the utmost respect. Every marriage has its ups and downs. My heart goes out to Pastor Love; wherever he is, I pray he finds peace and a way through this,” he concluded.

    Pastor Love’s apology to the Men of God he accused

    A few weeks after his public outbursts, Pastor Love issued two separate apologies: one to Archbishop Adonten Boateng and another to Osofo Kyiri Abosom, both of whom he had accused of being involved with his ex-wife.

    Pastor Love explained that his remarks were made in a moment of anger, acknowledging that, like any human, he is capable of making mistakes.

  • Obaapa Christy’s ex-husband, Pastor Love sentenced to 4 years in prison over illegal sale of car

    Obaapa Christy’s ex-husband, Pastor Love sentenced to 4 years in prison over illegal sale of car

    Pastor Hammond Love, widely known as Pastor Love, has been sentenced to 48 months in prison by an Accra Circuit Court for automobile theft.

    The case against Pastor Love dates back to 2017, when he was charged with selling a vehicle without the owner’s permission.

    The prosecution presented evidence from the complainant, Samuel Amankwah, who imported a Toyota Highlander into the country in 2016 and entrusted Pastor Love with the task of clearing it.

    After the vehicle was cleared, Amankwah instructed Pastor Love to sell it for $50,000 and to deduct the clearance fees from that amount.

    However, Amankwah later decided to cancel this arrangement as he intended to travel to Ghana in April 2017, at which point he would settle the clearance costs with Pastor Love.

    Upon his return to Ghana, Pastor Love was unable to present the car despite numerous requests from the complainant.

    When arrested for his failure to produce the vehicle, Pastor Love claimed he had taken out a loan of GHC 40,000 with a 20% interest rate to cover the car’s clearance.

    He argued that the accumulating interest led him to sell the car without Amankwah’s permission for GHC 80,000, using GHC 70,000 to repay the loan company.

    However, Pastor Love was unable to direct the police to the loan company or identify the individual who purchased the vehicle.

    During the court proceedings today presided over by His Honour Isaac Addo, Pastor Love appealed for leniency, citing his status as a first-time offender and his willingness to pay a fine. His request was, however, denied.

    The judge remarked that, as a pastor, Pastor Love should exemplify integrity and uphold trustworthiness.

    He acknowledged the complainant’s rightful ownership of the car and emphasised that Pastor Love’s sale of the vehicle without consent warranted a strong deterrent sentence.

    Pastor Love has issued another public apology following recent comments about his former wife, Obaapa Christy, which drew criticism.

    He acknowledged that his emotional outbursts were driven by deep personal pain, particularly feelings of being unappreciated after putting immense effort into supporting her career.

    He reflected, “It’s painful when those you’ve sacrificed for fail to recognize your contributions. Even if gratitude isn’t expressed, it’s still wrong to speak ill of those who have helped you. My actions were a response to what I felt was unfair treatment from my ex-wife.”

    Pastor Love recounted how he worked tirelessly to promote Obaapa Christy’s music, traveling extensively at a time when the absence of social media made promotion far more difficult.

    He explained, “I did everything for her, even while she stayed home. From songwriting support to traveling across the country to push her music, I endured a lot to ensure her success.”

    In his heartfelt apology, Pastor Love asked for forgiveness from Ghanaians both at home and abroad. He emphasized his intention to permanently distance himself from Obaapa Christy, saying, “This will never happen again. I ask for everyone’s understanding. If Christy denies my contributions, I leave it in God’s hands. I hold no bitterness and wish her nothing but blessings. This chapter is now closed.”

    He also shared words of wisdom for couples, encouraging mutual respect and kindness in relationships.

    Previously, Pastor Love had accused several pastors of having a secret affair with Obaapa Christy.

    His accusations, which were laced with vulgar language and severe insults, shocked many, drawing widespread criticism for their extremity.

    You’ll die instantly if you sing songs I wrote for you – Obaapa Christy’s ex-husband fumes

    Pastor Love has strongly rebutted recent claims made by his ex-wife, Obaapa Christy, who denied his involvement in writing her hit songs.

    In a recent interview with Kingdom FM, Obaapa Christy dismissed the notion that Pastor Love contributed to her music, arguing that both of them lack formal education and thus, it’s implausible that he could have been her songwriter.

    “Just like myself, Pastor Love is not academically sound, so it’s a lie that he was my songwriter,” she earlier stated.

    Pastor Love, who has been following the controversy closely, responded with intense criticism.

    In a viral video, he launched a vehement attack on Obaapa Christy, hurling accusations and insults.

    He challenged her musical credibility, saying, “Have you ever written a song before? I’ll keep insulting you for a whole month; if I’m not tired, I’ll continue. Village woman, unserious woman. You’re a curse. All these people who call themselves gospel musicians. Do you even live out the messages in your songs?” he fumed.

    You’re nothing but a village woman and a fraud. Do you even practice what you preach in your songs?”

    Pastor Love further accused her of exploiting him for publicity and issued a harsh warning: “Anytime you sing any of the songs I’ve written for you, you’ll die an instant death.”

    She credited him with significantly advancing her career, noting that while neither of them could write songs independently, they collaborated closely to develop and refine their music.

    “I would say he played a major role in my career. Like me, he can’t write songs, but he would bring ideas, and together we fine-tuned them to produce the songs we created,” she said.

    Obaapa Christy also addressed the nature of her current relationship with Pastor Love, acknowledging that despite not having seen him recently, they maintain a respectful and cordial connection due to their shared responsibilities as parents.

    She emphasized that their past and the presence of their children ensure they will continue to be a part of each other’s lives.

    “I’ve not seen him for a while, but you can ask him, Everywhere I see him, I greet him. There is no bad blood between us. I have children with him and so we will be in each other’s life. There is a lot that happens in life. People have died because of marriage so…” she said.

    “God bless you” is not enough; we need money – Obaapa Christy

Studio fees, backup singers, among others, do not come free. We pay for them, so how can we continue to fulfil our obligations if we offer our services for free?”

    She conveyed her disappointment regarding the prevalent negative comments that arise when gospel musicians encounter challenges, deeming them discouraging and counterproductive.

    I sometimes compose songs from personal experiences – Obaapa Christy

    Obaapa Christy, a Gospel artiste, has recently unveiled her unique source of inspiration when it comes to creating songs. Like many musicians, she possesses a distinct approach to finding creative motivation.

    Speaking in a virtual interview with Amansan Krakye, Obaapa Christy said music, particularly her style, is all composed of various life experiences.

    “I do sometimes sing some of my gospel songs from personal experience that I get but God gives me all the songs through so many ways,” she said on Property FM in Cape Coast.

    “When I’m happy, I’m able to get a song from that, when I’m sad, also I get a song from it, whilst having a conversation with someone, I can get a song. When I attend church services and I listen to the preaching, even someone’s testimonies can inspire me to do a gospel song,” she added, sighted by MyNewsGh.com

    According to her, as a gospel singer, the Bible is also a big inspiration when it comes to writing songs.

    “These situations all help because the music that we compose is all about life, but at the same time, being a gospel song, you pick some from the Bible,” she explained.

    “So you put the word of God together with the life experiences to create the song and everyone has a unique way of getting songs from God,” Obaapa Christy revealed.

    Ghanaian gospel singer, Obaapa Christy, has explained some of the challenges musicians face when performing, particularly the often-overlooked expenses associated with touring.

    Speaking on the United Showbiz show, Christy revealed that she charges for her performances due to the expenses involved in getting ready for shows, such as the cost of makeup and costumes.

    According to her, makeup and costumes are expensive, and she can’t wear them anywhere after today’s show.

    “From day one, when I began singing and granting interviews, I was asked if I charged before performing at shows.” And I said yes. I charge. They ask, as a Christian, why do you charge?’

    “Makeup is expensive, and a costume to appear good is equally expensive because I can’t wear it anywhere after today and I also have to eat. This is our work. Even the Bible says he who works for the Lord eats from their gains,” she stated.’

    While emphasizing the importance of honesty and transparency in the music industry, Obaapa Christy encouraged performers to be truthful with themselves about their expectations and financial needs.

    She also noted that she sees nothing wrong with asking for pay and urged others to be open and honest about their compensation requirements.

    “Initially, people used to say that they’d perform for free, but now when they want to charge, they’ll be referred to the comments they made on this subject. I think we should be honest with ourselves, especially if it doesn’t offend God,” she added.

  • Black Sherif, Sarkodie, Kidi, D’Black, others battle it out for DJs Song of the Year

    The DJs song of the year, a category of the Ghana DJ Awards which recognizes songs that were played most by DJs during a year under review, is a fiercely contested bracket.

    While the category is an opportunity for the Ghana DJ Awards to honour musicians who produce some of the most played songs by DJs, it is also an opportunity for artists to recognize the importance of DJs in promoting their songs.

    Making his first entry into the category is Black Sherif with his popular jam “Kweku the Traveler“. During the year under review, Kweku the Traveler has enjoyed massive airplay on radio, TV, and events across the country and beyond.

    In addition, the song broke into the Nigerian market as it became the first Ghanaian song to rank number 1 on the top 100 Music Chart on Apple Music. It is, therefore, not surprising that Killer Blacko made the cut for the DJs song of the year.

    Accordingly, after winning last year’s edition with his original hit song “Touch It”, Kidi is back in the sticks. Interestingly, a remixed version of “Touch It”, which features American rapper Tyga, is up for the DJ’s song of the year. So will he do a back-to-back? We await.

    Also on the list is Camidoh’s popular jam “Sugar Cane Remix”, which features Nigerian acts Darko and Mayorkun alongside Ghanaian singer King Promise. Camidoh, with this tune, topped Nigerian’s top 100 songs on the Apple Music chart, becoming the second Ghanaian to reach that milestone after Black Sherif.

    Receiving enormous airplay by DJs across the country, Sarkodie’s Non-Living Thing, which features Nigerian singer Oxlade got a nod in the category.

    Who else is taking on the above? No other than Kuami Eugene with his “Take Over” song which went viral after DJs started giving it a massive spinning on the radio and at pubs across the country. The nomination puts the Lynx signee in close contention with his label mate Kidi for the coveted award.

    Fa No Fom hitmaker DJ Azonto is equally on the list for the top prize. The song’s title has grown to become a popular saying among music lovers. Due to the songs catchy lyrics, it has been on rotation across major pubs and clubs as well as event grounds across the country.

    D’black is up for the big prize with his song “Sheege”, which features fast-rising Ghanaian female singer Gyakie. The tune has enjoyed popularity among partygoers and attendees as DJs drop it as part of their playlists. It is undoubtedly going to be a tough one.

    Finally on the list is Afrobeat sensation Kelvyn Boy’s song “Down Flat”. According to Kelvyn Boy, the song, written in less than 20 minutes, has gone viral worldwide. While the song made giant strides by making great entries on Billboard’s Afrobeat top charts, it made it into almost every DJ’s playlist.

    The 10th edition of the Ghana DJ Awards, christened Africa’s Biggest DJ Event, is scheduled to come off on November 5, 2022, at the Silver Star Tower in Accra. Some acts billed to perform include Stonebwoy, Obaapa Christy, Kuami Eugene, Increbible Zigi, Keche, amongst others.

    According to him, the last time he saw his son was when the boy was about two years old adding that the singer has not allowed him to see his kid since then.

    Speaking to Afia Tamakloe on the M’ahyease TV show, Pastor Love said that because he wants to have a relationship with his child, he has sought to use other means to get her to change her mind especially since she has custody of all their three children.

    He stated that over the years he chose to be patient and urges close associates to speak to Obaapa Christy but she is yet to heed their advice.

    Pastor Love said that he did not want to pursue a custody battle or use other means to see his children because he does not want to make a big problem out of the issue.

    He said that consistently he had to pull a brake on taking the case further.

    But the Action Grace Chapel Head Pastor noted that if Obaapa Christy continues to create a barrier between him and his child, he will be forced to seek other means which may unearth more problems.

    The couple was married for 4 years before finally separating with quite an unpleasant divorce in court.

    Meanwhile, this is not the first time Pastor Love has expressed his pleasure at the rate at which he sees his children.

    In 2019, shortly after Obaapa Christy’s remarriage, Pastor Love demanded to have custody of their children after claiming they were being maltreated.

  • I wrote 8 albums for Obaapa Christy but didn’t make a profit – Pastor Love

    Pastor Love Kweku Hammond, the former husband of gospel singer, Christian Love now known as Obaapa Christy, has disclosed that he wrote all her major songs when they were together, however, they couldn’t make a profit back in the day.

    The preacher, who doubles as a songwriter, has disclosed that his exceptional songwriting skills earned his former partner major hits in the music industry.

    “I have a number of songs to my credit. I wrote Maame Joyce’s song ‘Nhyira’. It was Pastor Love who wrote ‘Eye Adom’.

    “I think I wrote 8 albums for my ex-wife. I wrote the song ‘Me Werenfi’. I can say that after her song ‘Metease’, I wrote all others that came from her,” Pastor love disclosed in the interview monitored by GhanaWeb.

    Speaking in an interview with Afia Tamakloe on Mahyease TV show, Pastor Love noted that music was not lucrative when his partner recorded several hit albums which were all written by him.

    “I can say that at that time, music wasn’t fetching money. We were not making money at that time. We gave the song to someone to produce it, the reason we didn’t make money. They say there is something called royalties but nothing came out of it. There was no money,” he said.

    The talented singer and her husband went their separate ways some 11 years ago but have been in the news for various reasons with Pastor Love accusing his wife of keeping their children away from him.

  • It was Obaapa Christy’s fault – Pastor Love revisits divorce

    Popular preacher and former husband of gospel singer, Obaapa Christy has explained that the divorce was no fault of his; instead, his ex-wife’s.

    According to Pastor Love, ministers of the gospel who divorce their partners are always blamed for failing to save their marriages. He explained that when the marital issue goes overboard, it becomes hard to resolve it.

    “I am a man of God and I want people to understand that marriage is not speed, it is deep… no one plans to divorce but when you’re not able to solve the faults, it will happen. In my case, the fault wasn’t from me but the woman. I just had to accept it in good faith and move on,” he disclosed in an interview with Afia Tamakloe on Mahyease TV Show.

    Pastor Love Kweku Hammond has admonished married couples to learn how to forgive each other if they wish to avert suffering a similar case.

    “I have a message for married couples. This time you can find me on TikTok as Pastor Love and I am always having programmes on marriage. You can’t get married or stay in a marriage if you don’t learn to forgive. You must learn to try and sacrifice to forgive your partner when they wrong you. This will help you to progress,” he charged.

    He continued: “In my case, it gave me experience, the reason I am also educating others. We must try to forgive to stay in a marriage. I think that is better.”

    Men were also admonished to stay away from multiple partners which according to Pastor Love hinders progress in their lives.

    “This is my advice to you, womanizing will drain your pocket and also ruin your body. You can’t progress in life. Learn to live by the truth,” the preacher said.

    Although the preacher’s ex-wife has moved on by remarrying, Pastor Love noted that he is taking his time to choose the right woman to prevent Ghanaians from calling him out should his next relationship crash.

    “Marriage is a long journey, also it is not easy. If you’re not careful, people will blame you for going in and out of marriage. I have been separated from my wife for 11 years but I was in court for 7 years. The marriage hadn’t been annulled so I couldn’t marry. I had to sit, pray and reflect so in your next relationship, you’ll handle the person like an egg,” he added in the interview monitored by GhanaWeb.
