Ghanaian U.K.-based gospel artiste and Rockhill Chapel founder, Sonnie Badu has disclosed that a former president of Ghana once cautioned him against dabbling in politics, citing safety concerns.

In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Sonnie Badu said, "This side of Africa, we don't understand politics very well, and one ex-president advised me that I should not enter into politics because I can be killed."

When asked about his potential support for a political party in the 2024 elections, Badu remained non-committal. However, he emphasised his willingness to perform for any politician who compensates him.

"If a politician pays me, I will come and sing for them. I have six children, and I have to feed my kids."

Badu also reflected on his December 2023 domestic accident, which resulted in the loss of two toes. He expressed disappointment over online allegations that he fabricated his injury for attention.

"It was heartbreaking that people were trolling me on social media, claiming I was faking my injury for traction. But then again, it's quite normal that people fake things for engagement on social media."

The "Okokroko" hitmaker who has performed globally, revealed that the accident has affected his hearing, leaving him with a lasting impact.
