Actress Yvonne Nelson has challenged Rapper Okyeame Kwame about a statement he made concerning the King of Asanti Kingdom Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II.

The “Made In Ghana” Rapper who was eulogizing the king on his birthday addressed him as “God” in a post on his Instagram page and actress Yvonne Nelson vehemently disagrees with him for referring to Otumtour as “God” and described his statement as blasphemy.

Sharing a video of Osei Tutu II dancing and explaining his dance moves, wrote:

“Watching the dance carefully, Nana is communicating with his gestures, let me try and explain.He says the Left and Right is all mine. All things come together because of me, everything is mine. It was given to me by God, I have dominion on all things because I am a God. I am in God and God is in Me. Happy Birthday, Otumfuo Osei Tutu Nyame Keseɛ we wish you longer life, peace and prosperity. May Otwediampon Kwame who lives in you multiply your territories. Thank you for showing the African how to live with PRIDE and AUTHORITY. You are ROYAL. Piaaaaaaaw.”  

The sexy screen diva insists that Okyeame should respect “God” the creator and correct his mistake and her comment quickly sparked a debate on social media. 

Yvonne posted the comment below:

"Pls correct it!!!! hes not God! With the capital G. Theres only one God!"

However, the “Faithful” hit maker maintained his stance and explained that it was appropriate for him to refer to the Asantehene as such because he believes “God” lives in him and that makes him “God”.

The two had a back and forth in the comments session of his post and this has attracted other fans to share their opinions on the issue.

Ryn Roberts’ mother argued anyone who refuses acknowledge there’s only one God with the capital can remain in their ignorance. "I’m sorry bro, go check this one out! That's blasphemy. Anyone who thinks otherwise can decide to stay in their ignorance. We know the true G’ GOD.” She wrote.

Coming back with some bible verses to support his opinion, he wrote: “Sister Yvonne We all experience God differently. None of Us can tell how the next Person should feel and or understand God. God is a part of Us . He is Us. We are Him. U see when I was a kid, I was told that I am Man and God lives in Me. But I have grown up to understand that no. The life in Me is nothing but Gods active force. So I am God and this body lives in Me. It’s not about calling names (ignorance) it’s about understanding and Perspective. Read Your Bible Well. Psalm John 10 30 [sic].”

“Sister Yvonne because of the presence of God in Man I think it is disrespectful to refer to Man as a Small God (god) because it diminishes the God in Man. I would refer to a River as a small god or a deity as a Small god but Man is a Big God. Pls, ask Yourself Who came up with the concept of Small god and big God? What was their motive? Was it for differentiation or to diminish the Africans Idea of Her greatness? I love Me. I know Me. God lives in Me. [sic]” Okyeame added.

Rapper Trigmatic also came along with his thought, with a comment saying that “Indeed there’s only one God” this Yvonne replied saying “Bro, I’m smiling. I’m happy we are in this place”.

Okyeame Kwame’s last comment to back and forth was “hmmmm U are right. People don’t understand that nobody should force their religion on others. We all experience God differently. I rest my case [sic]”.
