Rev Josh Laryea clarifies issues.<\/p>\n

Gospel musician and pastor, Rev Josh Laryea denies the rumours about his suspension. Furthermore, according to rumours, the church suspended him over sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n

The \u201cEmere\u201d hitmaker spoke about all this in an interview on Starr FM. Moreover, he\u00a0disclosed how he nearly committed suicide when the news was broke to him.<\/p>\n

Rev Josh Laryea about his suspension and reasons behind it<\/h4>\n

\u201cI may have gone mad, I may have been dead\u2026at a point, I thought of suicide.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, he touched on why he left ICGC. He stated that it wasn\u2019t because of any sexual scandal. However, his desires motivated his\u00a0decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was more like a transition, but definitely something brings it about, but it doesn\u2019t mean that that was the main reason. It has a lot to do with my orientation on the Gospel\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the question of whether there were any unsettled issues between himself and the church, he responded;<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke to Doc. and I told him I had to leave. He was not in the affirmative, he wanted me to stay but I insisted that I think I want to leave\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, he rubbished reports that he left the ICGC Doxa Temple because of female Hiplife artiste, Mzbel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
