Rising Afrobeats artiste, Abbi Ima has revealed that she switched from gospel music to secular music after her church members refused to support her music career.

Abbi Ima said she had been a singer at the Apostles Continuation in Kintampo, Brong Ahafo, since her teenage days.

‘I started music at the age of 12 years but then I was doing gospel. I started from Apostles Continuation church. I started there, singing at church”
”I recorded a gospel album. I did launching in the church but my church members didn’t come. I gave invitation cards to everyone. My church was the central (headquarters) in the area”
Abbi Ima revealed that she was never asked to sing in the Church again after she released her first secular song titled ‘African Girl’.
