The founder of New Jerusalem Chapel in Kumasi, Bishop J.Y. Adu, has offered clarity on the love life of late gospel musician Yaw Sarpong.

Speaking in an interview with Smart Ghana TV on Monday, January 26, 2026, Bishop Adu denied that the late musician was having an amorous affair with his fellow singer Tiwaa.

Rather, Bishop J.Y Adu indicated that the gospel musician at some point had girlfriends even though Tiwaa was the one taking care of her to ensure he regains full fitness.

“Yaw Sarpong did not love Tiwaa. If he did, they would have been married a long time ago. He saw Tiwaa as a sister. I lived with them here and can tell you confidently that they had no amorous relationship. Yaw Sarpong had multiple girlfriends, and I know of one who even purchased a car for him.”

Gee opined:

“The truth in this Yaw Sarpong and Tiwaa issue is that I don't think the two had any amorous relationship. If it had been that way, they wouldn’t have come this far. Because when two people are dating in the same office, automatically there will be misunderstandings here and there, and they can't go far with their music career.”

TRICIA 2 reacted:

“What I saw was he captured Tiwaa for ministry interest. He didn’t want the woman to go far with her voice, because her voice was the signature of his brand. Period.”

So_chic_gh indicated:

“If they had dated, their friendship wouldn't have lasted this long. People should think critically about such issues before making accusations.”

Mary Enning wrote:

“And they have disgraced her. May her soul rest in perfect peace.”
