A recent revelation by award-winning gospel musician Cwesi Oteng has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, including a powerful response from renowned gospel minstrel Esther Smith who has echoed similar sentiments about the dark side of the gospel music industry in Ghana.

Speaking on Joy Prime, Cwesi Oteng shared a shocking experience from the early days of his music career. He revealed that after releasing his debut gospel album, which gained massive attention due to its fresh and unique style, he faced heavy spiritual and emotional attacks. According to him, some gospel musicians were so threatened by his success that they allegedly took his album to a cemetery in an attempt to spiritually hinder his progress.

“When I stepped out into gospel music, I was like a fresh idea… Suddenly, doors were opening for gospel music. It also came with a lot of attacks… People took my album to cemeteries,” he told host Roselyn Felli.

This confession ignited a strong reaction from fans and industry insiders. While some are calling on Cwesi Oteng to mention names, others have shown support, including gospel veteran Esther Smith.

In a heartfelt Facebook post, Esther Smith confirmed that she has also endured similar challenges in the gospel scene. She described the industry as “pure evil” and revealed that genuine gospel ministers often face relentless opposition.

“If I tell you what I went through and what I am going through, you will feel sorry for me but I know my redeemer lives,” she wrote. She encouraged fellow gospel artists to remain prayerful, adding that attacks can come through personal relationships, finances, or even health.

Her post read in part: “You see, if you are genuine, they will fight and deal with you until you give up… Sorry my dear, keep on praying. God will come through for you if you are genuinely called.”

These revelations have reignited ongoing conversations about spirituality, envy, and sabotage in the gospel music space. Many fans are expressing disappointment that such issues exist in an industry that is expected to uplift and promote faith.

Both Cwesi Oteng and Esther Smith have, however, chosen not to mention specific names, focusing instead on encouraging others to stay strong and prayerful despite the challenges.

As the gospel industry continues to grow, these conversations shed light on the need for unity, spiritual maturity, and sincerity among gospel artists in Ghana and beyond.
