Empress Gifty releases ravishing video for ‘Awiey3 Pa’
Empress Gifty
Multiple award-winning Ghanaian gospel musician, Empress Gifty has released a ravishing video for his new song titled Awiey3 Pa.
The video directed and shot by renowned director, Skyweb tells the story of a talented young lady who faced challenges growing up.
Gifted with an awe-inspiring voice, she never had the support of her family to exhibit the gift.
Not perturbed by this, on an errand in the market one day, she met a Man of God preaching and decided to join and sing for him.
Unknowing to this young lady, her mother who couldn’t wait any longer at home stormed the market to humiliate her and later sacked her from the house.
Thankfully, this young gifted lady met her destiny changer at the same place she was humiliated. She was signed and taken to the studio by the destiny changer and this young lady became a huge gospel music star in the future.
Interestingly her mother and a friend who conspired to sack her ended up regretting their action after watching her on television.
Awiey3 Pa is premised on Jeremiah 29:11 which says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
The song which is Empress Gifty’s first single for the year, is off her album expected to be released before the end of the year.
Empress Gifty has earlier revealed that the song which was written by her colleague, Ewura Abena was inspired by Jeremiah 29:11 which says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Ghanaian rapper Medikal has praised fellow musician Black Sherif for winning the Artist of the Year award at the Telecel Ghana music awards, describing the recognition as well deserved.
Speaking on Onua Showtime on Sunday, Medikal explained that Black Sherif’s music reflects struggle, hard work and street life, which many people can relate to.
According to him, Black Sherif, popularly known as “Blacko,” earned the award because his songs connect strongly with the public.
“Obviously, if you listen to Blacko’s songs from day one, you will see that the content and lyrics are all about struggle and making it in life,” he stated.
He noted that Black Sherif’s journey from the streets to success makes his achievement inspiring to many young people.
Medikal added that he would have been happy if he had won the award himself, but he was equally happy for Black Sherif because he deserved it.
The rapper explained that his reaction during the awards event, where he nodded and applauded after the announcement, was a genuine show of support for his colleague.
He stressed that popular street songs often influence major award decisions, especially when people from different backgrounds sing and embrace the music.
According to him, Black Sherif’s hit songs became widely accepted by children, adults and even people at social gatherings and funerals, showing the level of influence he has gained.
“The street controls the song,” Medikal remarked, adding that an artiste who dominates the streets has a strong chance of winning major awards.
He further noted that he was not surprised by Black Sherif’s victory because every category Medikal himself was nominated in was highly competitive.
