Former rapper turned preacher, Yaw Siki talks about the music industry. He revealed that sometimes the temptation is there to go back to secular music.<\/p>\n
He made these statements in an interview on TV3\u2019s New Day program. Moreover, he disclosed that the temptation comes from the huge successes of Sarkodie, R2Bees, Yaa Pono. These are the musicians he started with in Tema.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly sometimes when I am there and I see some of the musicians I started with, and I see they are at certain levels, I feel that if I were there, I would have been up too. However, I remember that I have a mission to fulfil, and that is what is more important, because many people will be blessed\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
However, he stated categorically that the temptations don’t bother him. This is because he knows the God he serves has something big for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not going back. Even though I am tempted to, even though I am tested to, even though there are things that want me to go back, I am not going back because I am not fulfilled there. I wasn\u2019t fulfilled, I was empty when I came to Christ\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
