'Piesie's testimony: 'God used my hardship to prepare me for a better future.' Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, a commentator for Esther Entertainment, is of the opinion that the Kumasi-based Gospel artist Brother Sammy, whose birth name is Samuel Opoku, needs to be brought to account.
He makes the observation that it is insulting and an affront to the gospel community for a singer who preaches the gospel to feature buttocks-shaking dancers in an auditorium where he is launching an album, and that this behavior ought to be denounced.
When Arnold Baidoo made this information public, he was speaking on UTV, which is situated in Accra.
"What we witnessed in the house of the Lord is incredibly embarrassing. These are some of the activities they were doing at the temple in Jerusalem when Jesus gave them a rebuke. It is not acceptable in the sight of the Lord. to believe that he does not see any issue with it as being a problem. Even though he has a lot of talent, he is squandering it by perverting the Gospel.
The bluffing is starting to cause concern. In all of my years as a Christian, I have never previously witnessed anything like this. When we have a gentleman like this encouraging people to church, why do we conduct ourselves in this manner? This is a sarcastic take on the Christian gospel. Because he has demonstrated to us that he is unconventional, I cannot fault Broda Sammy for his actions. Because the Church's leadership in this country has not issued a warning to him, he believes that he is free to engage in any activity he chooses.
I have been patiently waiting for the leadership of the Church to condemn him, but so far they have not done so. He remarked, "I am glad that Piesie Esther and Tagoe Sisters have condemned him because if they hadn't done that, I would have been shocked." If they hadn't condemned him, he said, "I would have been shocked."
He was shocked by the prank that gospel singers were pulling to sell their music, and he indicated that it is concerning.
