Former Ghanaian hitmaker turned preacher, Osofo Yaw Siki, has firmly rejected all royalties linked to his once-popular song “Wope Dodo”, describing the track as “unholy” and inconsistent with his current Christian faith.
“I Won’t Touch the Money” – Yaw Siki
Speaking in a recent interview, the former secular musician revealed that he would not accept any revenue generated from Wope Dodo, even if the money was offered to him freely as a gift. According to him, the song represents a past lifestyle he has completely abandoned.
Yaw Siki stressed that he has made a conscious decision to distance himself from the song and everything it symbolized during his days in the secular music scene, insisting that his spiritual rebirth leaves no room for compromise.
From Secular Stardom to Gospel Ministry
The decision follows Yaw Siki’s widely publicized transformation from a mainstream musician to a gospel preacher. Since embracing Christianity, he has been vocal about his faith journey and his commitment to living according to biblical principles.
He explained that accepting royalties from music he now considers spiritually harmful would contradict his calling and message as a preacher of the gospel.
Focused on Gospel Music and Evangelism
Yaw Siki has since redirected his creative energy toward gospel music and ministry, using his platform to preach salvation and spiritual renewal. He has consistently encouraged fans to focus less on his old songs and more on the message of faith he now represents.
The former hitmaker’s stance has sparked conversations across Ghana’s entertainment and Christian communities, with many praising his conviction while others debate the intersection of faith, art, and legacy.
