Gospel singer Empress Gifty isn’t backing down after her Artiste of the Year win at the 2025 Ghana Music Awards USA sparked a wave of backlash. With critics questioning the credibility of the award and accusing organisers of bias, Gifty has taken her defense beyond the stage — straight to the spiritual realm.
In a series of charged social media posts, she warned that anyone attempting to smear her name would face divine consequences. She called on the God of her late mother, Agaga, to intervene, declaring that those who insult her without cause would be judged accordingly.
Her response comes after fans and industry insiders expressed shock over her win, especially since she didn’t clinch the Gospel Artiste of the Year title — which went to Piesie Esther. Entertainment analyst Macall Mensah even called the outcome “comical,” arguing that other nominees like Stonebwoy, King Promise, and Shatta Wale had stronger claims.
But Gifty remains unmoved. She insists her name is now etched in history and that no amount of online trolling can undo what she calls a spiritually certified victory. Her husband, politician Hopeson Adorye, has also stepped in to defend her, saying the award stands regardless of public opinion.
As the debate rages on, Gifty’s message is clear: her win wasn’t just a career milestone — it was a divine appointment.
