Obaapa Christy, a renowned gospel musician, recently shared that she would gladly collaborate with Shatta Wale, the Dancehall King, if he were to approach her.
While some members of the gospel community have debated whether it’s appropriate for Christians to engage with secular music, Christy believes that it’s the message of the music that truly matters. In fact, she would only consider working with a secular artist if the lyrics of their song were glorifying to God.
Christy believes that gospel songs are inspired by everyday experiences, but with the added factor of God.
Therefore, she does not discriminate against collaborating with secular artists, and would be willing to work with Shatta Wale at any time. The only line that she believes Christians must draw when it comes to secular music is the lyrics.
