Following the backlash and controversy surrounding a UK-based pastor’s use of lines from Big Shaq’s ‘Man’s not hot’ global smash-hit single, Ghanaian Afro Pop and Dancehall songstress, MzVee, has come out to say it wouldn’t have been a problem if it was her church Pastor who had sang lines from the song.
The pastor, Bishop Richard Aryee, a Ghanaian of the First Love Church in London, who playfully said, “Now we are just warming up, are you feeling warm? Or are you thinking Man’s not hot,” during a sermon at church, has come under serious criticism from certain quarters of the Christian public.
In an interview with Agyekum Gyimah, popularly known as Skinny on Beach FM’s E-BUZZ segment on the drive-time programme, MzVee noted that since the song has “no demeaning and ungodly lyrics,” it should not have stirred this much controversy.
According to the ‘Daavee’ star, it is possible that the pastor only meant to lighten the air amongst his congregants with the lines from Big Shaq.
“Pastors crack jokes; I don’t think it was for any bad reason… I don’t think it was a big deal,” MzVee remarked.
“But, you should know which church you are in because some churches are some way,” MzVee continued.
She added that since not all churches would take it lightly singing lines from circular artistes, regardless of how clean and inoffensive the lyrics of the song may be, one must be wary of what they say at church.
The Qodesh Lighthouse Chapel International congregant went on to point out that, in her church, for instance, “it would have been funny, we would have just laughed and praised God, be friends and then gone back home.”
The ‘Natural Girl’ went on to react to claims of her saying most gospel musicians are hypocrites, by revealing that she said so because of their unwillingness to associate with their circular counterparts.
According to MzVee, “God did not build the church for saints, he didn’t build it for those who have it all figured out, he built it for people who are supposed to learn.”
However, she clarified that she did not in any way say or mean that it is all gospel musicians who are hypocrites.
End…
