Gospel musician, Sonnie Badu has apologised to Yaw Siki for publicly announcing his intention to assist him financially.
Yaw Siki who made a resolution not to do secular music again after he was involved in a gory accident at the Accra-Tema Motorway turned down Sonnie Badu’s offer on the basis that the UK based came public to declare his offer.
Even though Sonnie Badu responded by stating why he made his intentions public, he is reported to have apologised to Yaw Siki if the latter felt embarrassed.
“My motive was to let him know that we are there for him. It was a touchy subject when he said he depends on money from people when he preaches. My motive was not to embarrass him, if that is how he felt I apologize,” he told Antoine Mensah, host of Lifestyle Café.
Sonnie Badu offered to support Yaw Siki when the former rapper revealed in an interview with Joy News that he makes a living from offertory he receives after preaching in commercial buses.
But Yaw Siki in an interview with KMJ on Daybreak Hitz quoted the scriptures to back his decision to reject the offer.
“I love my brother Sonni Badu so much and I respect him. What he did is an act of righteousness but Matthew 6:1-4 says, ‘…So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honoured by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret…’ So based on this word, I am not able to take the offer,” he noted.
