In an era where talent is often expected to be free, ace gospel artiste Christiana Adwoa Twene, popularly known as Obaapa Christy, has revealed that she does not perform for free, not even for friends.
According to her, she has invested in her craft with money, and there is a need for her to be ‘blessed’ after performing. She emphasised that while people expect her to minister for free, they often forget that performing comes with expenses she must cover personally.
“That’s my job and that’s what God has blessed me with, so if I don’t charge, how then will I feed? When someone has a problem and they seek help from me, it’s the same money that I would use to assist the person,” she said on a cooking show on UTV.
Obaapa Christy stated that people might perceive her as not spiritual, but that is far from the point she wants to make, adding that her fees cover essential costs such as transportation and logistics.
“I won’t be on TV and say I don’t charge; I do. When someone charges less for an event, it doesn’t mean I should also take a lesser amount of money. There are levels to everything, and in this job we do, I’ve been able to build my brand so I’m different from others who charge less,” she shared.
She began her career with the ‘Hallelujah Voices’ before releasing her debut album, ‘Me Te Ase,’ in 2002. For over two decades, she has won multiple awards, including several Ghana Music Awards, and has become an icon in the gospel music genre.
