Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese is challenging the assumption that a career in secular music leaves no room for spirituality.
In a recent discussion with Kwame Dadzie and Doreen Avio on Hitz FM, he spoke about the reactions he often encounters when attending church.
“People will be stealing glances whenever I go to church and they will be wondering if I’m actually the one. It’s a nice feeling when you socialize with a group of people to share the word of God,” he said.
Kwaw Kese explained that because he performs secular music instead of gospel, many automatically question his faith.
“Being a musician and not singing gospel, people just assume you’re a worldly person. They don’t attach you to religion because we sing worldly songs,” he stated.
He also pointed to his dreadlocks as a factor that shapes people’s assumptions about him.
“Also, the fact that I have dreadlocks on, people have their own perceptions about us,” he shared.
Despite the judgments, Kwaw Kese remains confident in his spiritual life and his relationship with God.
“To me, I know I’m closer to God than most of the people who go to church,” Kwaw Kese further stated.
