Multi-talented Ghanaian musical artiste, brands influencer and strong pillar in the promotion of culture and heritage, Okyeame Kwame has left his admirers in a surprising state after revealing that he is not a Christian despite growing up in a Christian environment.
In a recent interview with Joy Entertainment’s KwameDadzie, the ‘Rap Doctor,’ real name Kwame Nsiah Apau, stated that he is an omnist who derives his faith and inspiration from all religions, underlining that he does not subscribe to any particular religion.
According to prolific musical artiste, his spiritual journey is a personal one led by love, respect, and unification values. He stressed that his decision does not decrease his respect and appreciation for other faith traditions, nor does it diminish his dedication to spreading positivity through his music.
He refers to the African tradition when it comes to loving nature and respecting trees and rivers; his love for animals makes him a Buddhist; when it comes to the ‘love your neighbor as yourself’ teaching in the Bible, he is Christian; but he also becomes a Muslim for his extreme respect for God and owing all power to him.
“I was born as a Christian in the Methodist Church and then I grew up in the Christian faith until I was maybe 14 years. Most of my values are Christian. My father was a Catholic. My mother went to the Methodist Church so I grew up doing catechism and all that. I went to an Anglican school so most of my socialisation has been very Christian. But in my adult life, I don’t think I can call myself a Christian in the full sense. I call myself on omnist.” He said
