Legendary gospel musician Apostle Lenny Akpadie has lambasted his colleague, MOG Music, over his recent response to Ghana's anti-LGBTQ+ bill.
Recently, MOG Music publicly said during an interview on UTV that he did not want to take sides on issues regarding the controversial bill.
Later, in an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, he claimed that his position on the matter was in tandem with what the Bible says about homosexuality.
“If I speak for or against it, people would get something to say, so I would rather be silent on it. I can speak about my stance on the issue privately but not on air,” the “Oh Be Lifted” singer said in the interview.
MOG Music said he had decided to remain neutral on that matter to protect his image.
But speaking with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning on Friday, Apostle Lenny Akpadie said most gospel musicians avoid such controversial discussions due to concerns about potential disruptions or delays in their plans to travel abroad.
The veteran singer vehemently said he holds a negative stance towards the LGBTQ+ community, noting that it contradicts his personal beliefs.
“I take my stand, and my stand is that I am against it because God is against it," he told the presenter.
"I stick my neck out as a servant of God, and I am against it to the core. Whatever God is against, I am against,” Apostle Akpadie asserted.
Nonetheless, the Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, which is the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill passed by parliament in February, is still pending and awaits President Akufo-Addo’s assent to be made an act or law.
