Gospel musician, Nana Yaw Boakye, popularly called MOG Music, has spoken about his previous battle with masturbation.

In an interview on the Delay Show, MOG Music, who doubles as a pastor, revealed that he spent half a decade masturbating.

He recounted that he was introduced to the "ungodly" habit by a friend shortly after completing Junior High School.

Masterburtaing, according to him, was his way of maintaining his virginity and cope perfectly as a boarder in a boys' school, where he had gained admission.

However, his love for masturbation spiralled out of control and he started pleasuring himself at odd times and places, MOG Music narrated.

It was during one of such escapades that he was caught red-handed by his father in their home.

“One of the days, I was masturbating in one of the rooms when my father walked in and caught me red-handed. The beatings I received that day was not easy. He lashed me while raining insults on me,” he confessed.

MOG Music said after that incident, he felt the desire to be redeemed from the sin of the flesh, especially because he was consumed by guilt.

He received his deliverance after a heartfelt prayer to God, and he described the feeling as “the holy spirit causing the spirit of masturbation to leave his body”.

Till date, the Be Lifted composer said he has never touched himself, nor has he had the desire to do so, he added.
