Multiple awards-winning Ghanaian gospel artist, Joe Mettle has said that he sees nothing wrong with ‘Rastafarians’.<\/p>\n

According to the musician, he has no problem with other gospel artistes having dreadlocks or<\/p>\n

other peculiar hairstyles.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Happy FM\u2019s \u2018Ayekoo Drive\u2019, the \u2018My Everything\u2019 hitmaker stated that;<\/p>\n

\u201cthere is nothing wrong with someone having a Rasta hairstyle, it is just that our culture does not condone it that much\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also added that, \u201cChristianity is faith-based and people may choose to have any hairstyle <\/em><\/p>\n

of their choices, though Ghana has her own culture, and we are all expected to live by these <\/em><\/p>\n

culturally defined norms\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe have the right to do all things but not all things are right\u201d, he said.<\/h3>\n

He, however, stated that, it may not be necessarily sinful to have Rasta hairstyle or a peculiar<\/p>\n

haircut, but it can serve as a distraction to other people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because musicians serve as role models to their fans. In such cases, other young Christians can also spot the same hairstyle and may even overdo it\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

He further noted that, \u201cpeculiar haircuts are spotted by most gospel artistes in Europe and that is accepted because their culture permits it, it resonates with them and their messages are sent across without distortion, and that does not make them sinful.<\/em> If we also want to practice same, then we should be wary about them because of where we come from\u201d<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
