Gospel musician, Joyce Blessing has revealed that she was hurt by the disruption of her performance at the annual thanksgiving programme by the Unity Group of Companies in Kumasi in January this year.

While Joyce Blessing was performing, Cecilia Marfo walked up straight to the stage and snatched the microphone from her and told her to go back to her then husband.

“I felt hurt when she snatched the microphone from me, but I applied wisdom, as my parents taught me not to react to elders harshly no matter the circumstance,”she added.

Speaking to Sammy Flex on Zylofon FM’s Showbiz Agenda on Tuesday, Joyce Blessing said, she did not react as a gesture of respect to the musician, adding that “Cecilia Marfo is my senior in music, and older than me as well,”she said.”

“Cecilia Marfo told me she was sorry, I accepted and told her not to repeat it,” Joyce Blessing revealed.
