I was called gay, womanizer because of fame - Noble Nketsiah

I was called gay, womanizer because of fame - Noble Nketsiah

Ghanaian gospel artiste Noble Nketsiah has opened up about misleading claims that were made against him since rising to fame.

Speaking to Nana Romeo on Okay FM, the ‘Mmofra Yi’ hitmaker, the musician said, “I’ve heard people say I’m gay. Others have also said I’m a womanizer,” he revealed. “It’s funny because I ask myself — how can I be both at the same time? It doesn’t make sense.”

Mr Nketsiah said he was however not perturbed by the claims as he understood they came with being in the spotlight.

“I don’t take it seriously. It comes with the territory. If you are known or in the spotlight — especially doing God’s work — people will talk,” he stated

He expressed concern about how quickly Ghanaians focus on rumoirs and spe

“People pay too much attention to hearsay,” he said. “But when you get close to me, you’ll realise the kind of person I truly am.”

Mr Nketsiah has revealed that he once came across a CD of his songs in a shrine.

He said, a video of a vandalized shrine was sent to him by a close friend.

In the video, he saw destroyed items and CDs of some rising artists.

“Imagine my shock when I saw that one of the CDs was mine,” he narrated to Nana Romeo on Okay FM on July 7, 2025.

Adding that, "there were some CDs of some rising artistes" as well.

Despite the shock the news brought to the minister of God, he was more confident in his faith in the Almighty God than in so-called gods.

“I’m not bothered, these things happen. But I know that God is and has always been by my side.”

Sharing a similar experience, popular gospel musician, Cwesi Oteng said his entry into the gospel music industry came with intense spiritual opposition and personal attacks from within the fraternity.

Speaking on Joy Prime’s Changes with Roselyn Felli, Cwesi shared that his emergence as a new voice with a unique style sparked resistance from some gospel musicians who felt threatened by his rise.

“When I stepped out into gospel music, I was like a fresh idea and I started breaking a lot of grounds where gospel had not entered. Suddenly, doors were opening for gospel music. It also came with a lot of attacks,” he said. “At a point, it was a spiritual war. Church people were attacking me, saying all sorts of things. Gospel musicians also felt like the guy has come to change the scene.”

According to him, the backlash went beyond criticism. He alleged that people took his debut album — which included songs such as I Win and God Dey Bless Me — to cemeteries and other unknown locations in an attempt to block his progress.

These experiences, he said, have had an impact on his stardom, making it difficult for his newer songs to gain momentum, and causing his visibility in the gospel scene to gradually decline.

Despite the challenges, Cwesi noted that he chose to take a break to focus on his well-being and return stronger.

“You also want to live long, so when you realise that, you re-energize yourself. Stardom is really my thing; I can leave the scene, take care of myself for a year, and come back. Trying to be in people’s faces all the time is not it for me,” he stated.

Cwesi Oteng has since released a new single titled Favour, which he describes as a reminder to believers of God’s goodness and the importance of declaring His favor
