This is so typical of the Ghanaian mindset, that a struggling musician would not receive support but instead be tagged as ‘demonic’.
Patapaa has managed to claw his way to one hit song, whether by luck or talent, doesn’t matter – but instead of commendation comes a so-called preacher to kill his shine.
But superstition is the order of the day in Ghana so can we really be surprised?
The president of the Chayil Women movement, Rev. Mrs Jennifer Selly, says Patapaa’s One Corner song is a demonic song.
According to her, the artist consulted a juju man before composing the song which has made it such a hit.
“I am not a TV person but love news and this thing came during the TV3 news item that, there’s a new dance call “one corner. It is demonic from the pit of hell.” she said.
“Immediately I looked into my husband’s face and told him, this man went to take juju to do this. The spirit that gave him the fame is the spirit that motivate the people to behave abnormally. Let us be filled with the spirit of God.” She continued.
According to the Rev Minister, all those dancing to the song are dancing to the spirit behind the song and are selling their soul to it.
This is a disgraceful attack on an up and coming musician from a shameless charlatan wishing for a little bit of attention. When we talk about the folly of believing supernatural nonsense, these are some of the consequences, where ‘spiritual’ allegations can be made against anyone without any backing evidence.
Patapaa deserves better than this bullsh*t.
