Cwesi Oteng has some ideas on how he should be described.<\/p>\n
Award-wining Ghanaian gospel singer, Cwesi Oteng is urging Ghanaians to desist from branding him as gospel artiste.<\/p>\n
According Cwesi being called a gospel musician in Ghana is ‘baseless and overrated’. He made these statements in an interview on Hitz FM. Cwesi Oteng says Ghanaians should rather call him a Christian. He says this label is appropriate since it perfectly describes his mission as a musician propagating the gospel of Christ.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s overused and become baseless to me. I prefer to be called a Christian artiste because it moves with my purpose, plan, and vision. Anyone can be a gospel artiste now so I prefer this<\/em>,\u201d he told the host. He also added that he is pushing heavenly agenda through his music ministry and wouldn\u2019t want to be limited in his vision.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to be urban, contemporary artiste. I am a Christian artiste. People want that, and I am not interested. I was not called to establish that. I am pushing a Christ agenda that is heavenly,<\/em>\u201d Cwesi said. The \u2018Christian\u2019 artiste further lambasted artistes who resort to controversies to express their opinion about others in their bid to be famous.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we have a lot of nonsense to face. I am a no nonsense person. But people like to box people with their opinions and I\u2019m not to be boxed. I decided to be a great person when I was growing up and I prepared towards it. I am not arrogant,<\/em>\u201d Cwesi Oteng.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cwesi Oteng has some ideas on how he should be described.
