I love Daddy Lumba songs, they have so much wisdom in them- Philipa Baafi

Ghanaian gospel singer Philipa Baafi disagrees with Christians who are against secular music.

Recently, the head pastor and the founder of Alabaster International Ministries (Alabaster House Chapel), Prophet Kofi Oduro generated controversy after his blasted gospel acts, Daughters of Glorious Jesus for admitting they love listening to secular songs by Kojo Antwi and Amakye Dede.

According Prophet Oduro, the gospel musicians have “no business listening to secular music irrespective of the content” and they are bad role models for Christians.

But speaking to Roman Fada on the Atinka Drive show on Thursday, Philipa Baafi opined that she has absolutely no problem listening to secular music as far the song makes sense.

According to the “I Go Dance” hit maker, she is a big fan of legendary Ghanaian musician Daddy Lumba, and enjoy listening to his classic like “Ye kurakura Mu” and “Yemfa Odo”.

She said the songs motivate us when we are down and teach us lessons about living at peace with one another as life is transient.

The celebrated gospel musician was however quick to add that Christians should not listen to songs that have no scintilla of wisdom in it, as they can only lead one to sin against God.

Philipa Baafi is widely regarded as one of the most successful gospel musicians in the last two decades. Known for hit songs like “Go Higher”, “I Go Dance” and “Nkwa”, the 42-year-old debuted on the music scene in 1999 with the album “Nyame Honhon Sane”.
