Ghanaian highlife artiste George Kwabena Adu, popularly known as Kwabena Kwabena, has revealed that he once felt disrespected by a gospel musician.

The singer says he was dismissed as merely a highlife artiste attempting to create a gospel EP.

According to him, the musician's response during their interactions made him feel like an outsider, "a worldly person" unworthy of venturing into gospel music.

Speaking in an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, he opened up about this challenge, which occurred before his eventual collaboration with gospel artist Obaapa Christy on his seventh album, God of Restoration EP.

"There was one particular gospel artist for obvious reasons, I won't mention the name, but I believe it was a bit disrespectful.

"She made me feel like a worldly person. I called her personally and she told me to speak with her husband", she said on Hitz FM.

The musician further expressed appreciation to gospel musician Obaapa Christy for honoring his request for a collaboration.

"I would like to appreciate Obaapa Christy. When I phoned her to talk about doing a song, she made me feel she was rather honored to do a song with me."

"It was so humbling, and I say thank you and may God bless her very much. I now understand why she is quite unique," he added.

The God of Restoration EP is a five-track project, with the first single, Fakyɛme, featuring Obaapa Christy.
