King Paluta shares his reaction

The video of Ghanaians heartily singing King Paluta's song at church has gained significant traction on social media. King Paluta reacted to the video by saying,

"Make nobody write apology letter come again o."

His remarks were in reference to a catholic priest who was moved to sing the second verse of his song Aseda while preaching forgiveness to a new couple.

Speaking to to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said,

"King Paluta is having for himself a great year. And we can see that in how and where his songs are being played. Music is artistic expression. In some cases, It helps us better understand the world we live in as human. For an artiste, such acts helps his traction. For the society in general, that's a stretch."
