Ghanaian gospel singer Rose Adjei is sparking meaningful conversations in the gospel music space after boldly stating that being a gospel musician doesn’t automatically make someone a Christian. Her comments came during an interview on Okay FM with host Nana Romeo, where she also discussed the idea of collaborating with secular artistes—specifically mentioning award-winning highlife musician Kofi Kinaata.

Challenging the Status Quo

Rose Adjei’s openness to work with secular artistes contrasts with the views of some of her gospel colleagues, such as Mavis Asante, who has previously said that collaborating with secular musicians is “noise in the ears of God.” But for Rose, the line between sacred and secular isn’t so black and white.

“The fact that someone does secular music doesn’t make them a sinner,” she explained. “Also, singing or composing gospel music doesn’t automatically qualify you as a Christian.”

She went on to emphasize that a person’s relationship with God isn’t solely defined by the genre of music they produce.

Praise for Kofi Kinaata

Rose had nothing but admiration for Kofi Kinaata, applauding him for his clean lyrics and upright lifestyle.

“Kinaata always brings out decent songs and lives a very decent life,” she said.

According to her, some secular artistes have genuine, personal covenants with God—something she believes should not be overlooked or judged based solely on the kind of music they make.

New Music: Obeko Meko

Rose Adjei is currently promoting her new gospel single titled “Obeko Meko”, a powerful track that speaks of spiritual perseverance and victory. The song is now available on all major streaming platforms, and fans are already embracing it with enthusiasm.
