Ghanaian gospel singer Samuel Poku, popularly known as Broda Sammy, has shared a snippet of his new song, which rehashes his campaign against some churches.
This comes after his recent interview on UTV, in which he shared his frustration with Ghanaian churches discriminating against people with dreadlocks, earrings, and tattoos.
The controversial musician is known for his hot takes about Christianity in Ghana.
He has advised Christians not to shy away from staking the lottery and encouraged women to marry out of wedlock.
Broda Sammy also argued that religious leaders have become too strict with the youth, driving them away from the church.
In his new song, the musician reiterated his stance that salvation cannot be gatekept for the very people Christ came to die for - sinners.
He shared a video of himself jamming to the new song with a group of men who had dreadlocked hairstyles and wore earrings.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Franky 5 a renonwed gospel show host weighed in on Broda Sammy's campaign saying,
"I support the evangelistic campaign of Broda Sammy. Many of us have become arm chair Christians because they have been baptised. The Bible charges us to go into the world and preach the gospel. Anyone who has been touched by Christ has a peculiar gift to help spread the gospel. Broda Sammy's is singing and he has dedicated that to evangelism and I support that. The people he's talking about in his new song are the people Christ came for not those who are already saved."
