Former hiplife artiste and now son of Christ, Yaw Siki, who is struggling with finances these days, has rejected an offer of help from UK based gospel singer Sonnie Badu.
Yaw Siki said he’s rejecting the offer because Badu made it public, which runs contrary to Jesus’ teaching that good should be done without trumpeting it in public.
Yaw Siki turned to Christ after surviving a horrific accident a few years ago, and has recently been speaking out about how becoming a preacher has led to many friends abandoning him, meaning he can barely get by these days.
However, when Sonnie Badu offered to help, Siki has turned it down.
“I’m not saying that it was his intention to get praises for the intended act but it wasn’t right to make it known to everyone.” He tolf Graphic Showbiz.
“I know that life hasn’t been easy since I gave my life to Christ but the truth is that, I just had to reject my senior brother’s offer,” he said, adding his inspiration for that was Mathew 6:1-4.
“That isn’t to say that I don’t appreciate it but of what good is a blessing when you make your good deeds public for human praise.
“If he truly wanted to assist, he could have contacted me first without making it public. I’m not in support of that because my Christian beliefs are against that so upon careful consideration, I had to turn down the offer,” he said.
A bemused Sonnie Badu reacted to Siki’s refusal of the offer on Instagram, saying that the donation would be channelled to another cause then. He said the only reason the offer was made public was because they discovered his plight online.

It has been drawn to our attention that the young man Yaw Siki has rejected our help based on the following reasons: 1. Because I made it public. 2. Because I want fame from him … Lol I will not answer the second one. I would think at least he would have been thankful to us for speaking about his situation since it had generated a lot of intrest. However, to answer his first accusation, the only reason we put it out on Instagram and social media was, We discovered him on social media from an interview he granted in the first place . If he feels he did not need help he should not have granted the interview. No normal person would watch that and not want to help. Having said this , what ever was allocated for him has gone into other charitable projects… We wish him well in all his endeavors … It’s still a great thing to serve the Lord so it’s a good decision and step he took since there is nothing in the secular world. We were actually interested in reviving his music in the gospel world as well since I was told he only has one single out…
