- Sonnie Badu shares ex-president's dire politics warning
- Gospel star open to performing at political events for a fee
- Badu recounts painful accident, social media backlash
Ghanaian U.K.-based gospel artiste and Rockhill Chapel founder, Sonnie Badu, has shed light on his cautious stance on politics and personal struggles in a recent interview on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty.
Badu revealed that a former president of Ghana advised him against venturing into politics, citing safety concerns. “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,” he said.
When questioned about his potential support for a political party in the 2024 elections, Badu remained neutral but expressed 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.”
The gospel artiste also reflected on his December 2023 domestic accident, which resulted in the loss of two toes. Badu 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.”
Badu, known for his global hits like “Okokroko,” revealed that the accident has left a lasting impact on his hearing.
This isn’t the first time Badu has spoken out about his struggles. He previously expressed disappointment over the lack of support from fellow gospel musicians after his accident.
