Rapper and Uptown Energy Boss, Yaa Pono has stated his disappointment over the refusal of Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams to feature on his new song ‘Praises’
Speaking in an interview with Abeiku Santana, the Amen hitmaker expressed his frustration
According to Yaa Pono, he was very passionate about the song and hence was very disappointed when the man of God through his team rejected his offer to feature him on the song.
He explained that the song had pieces of one of the sermons of the man of God and he thought making music out of those words would go a long way to reach a lot more people.
Yaa Pona said; “we really wanted to do this because it was a good song. The song was called ‘praises’, we did some edits and it was nice, so we decided to write a press to them, when we talked to them they said they were not interested.”
When quizzed by Abeiku Santana why he thought about doing something as daring as putting the renowned archbishop on a song and going as far as making the artwork and poster for the song, Yaa Pono replied saying;
“I felt like music should go far than this. We used some of his sermons in the song to encourage people, but he wasn’t ready for us to go into business. The sermon is out there already, I listened to it and thought I should do music with it and it was motivating. The song is about praises and when you see a poster like that it will direct you to listen to the music, but he was not ready and so I had to release another song”.
