Felix Marfo releases visuals of ‘Otease’
Gospel musician, Felix Marfo, whose stage name was formerly known as Felix De solo, has released the official visuals for his new gospel banger, ‘Otease’.
The danceable pop-tune was recorded early this year at the second edition of his annual gospel concert, Anastasis.
The chorus of the song sampled lyrics from ace female singer, Obaapa Christy’s old song, which emerged into a beautiful verse written by Felix Marfo and his crew, with a rap part, making the song more remarkable and worth listening to.
In an exclusive interview with Felix Marfo, he revealed that he first sought permission from Obaapa Christy through a renowned personality in the gospel music industry (name withheld) before using samples of the lyrics to compose his new song.
In the official video, all the musicians and instrumentalists wore a well-tailored gold attire with a black scarf on their foreheads.
The energy used on stage by the artiste, Felix Marfo, and his talented crew was overwhelming and unpredictable from the start.
The top notch live music video was filmed and directed by Perfect Point Photography in Kumasi.
The song was mixed and mastered by music producer, Oti Sarpong, better known as Dennysarp.
The song ‘Otease’ is currently receiving massive airplay on radio and other digital music platforms and on YouTube.

A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour by the Bekwai Circuit Court for his role in a 2022 robbery at a mining site at Manso Akwasiso in the Ashanti South Region.
The convict, Dominic Ofori, also known as Fanta, was arrested on 16th February 2026 after years on the run. He pleaded guilty before the Bekwai Circuit Court to robbery contrary to Section 149 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 Act 29, and was accordingly sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour.
On March 20, 2022, the Manso Adubia District Police received intelligence that a group of armed men from Manso Abodom were planning to attack a mining site at Manso Akwasiso to rob the owner of gold concentrate. Acting on the information, police mounted a coordinated operation and laid an ambush at the site.
At about 5:30 pm the same day, four-armed men arrived at the site, fired indiscriminately, and robbed the miners of their gold concentrate. The police team on surveillance intervened, resulting in an exchange of gunfire.
Three of the suspects, Abu Abubakar, Musah Latif, and Gideon Takyi, sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead on arrival at St Martins Catholic Hospital at Agroyesum. Dominic Ofori escaped at the time but was later arrested and put before the court.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has assured the public of its continued commitment to combating violent crimes and bringing offenders to justice.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested 45-year-old Isaac Boafo, also known as “Duabo King,” for allegedly publishing false news intended to cause fear and panic.
Police said the arrest follows a viral TikTok video in which Boafo claimed that four officers at the Central Police Station in Kumasi engaged in inappropriate conduct with commercial sex workers during night patrols in Asafo.
Officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate (Ashanti Region) apprehended Boafo after receiving intelligence about the video.
During questioning, he admitted to creating the video to attract views and engagement online, and acknowledged that he could not prove the allegations.
Boafo also admitted making comments about the President of the Republic for content purposes and could not defend those statements.
He has been formally charged and is in detention as investigations continue.
The Ashanti Regional Police have warned the public against publishing or sharing false information on social media, noting that such acts can cause fear, panic, and damage reputations.
They said anyone found engaging in similar conduct will face legal action.
