I would love to do a song with Gifty Osei - Kwaw Kese

The Hiplife/Hiphop Artiste of the Year at this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), Kwaw ‘Abodam’ Kese, has disclosed that he would love to do a song with gospel musician, Gifty Osei.

In Kwaw Kese’s view, he and Gifty Osei who was also crowned Gospel Artiste of the Year at the VGMA, share similar qualities and skills which he believes will make any collaboration a success.

“I am the King of Madness when it comes to secular music and Gifty Osei is the Queen of Madness in Gospel music so I am sure our song will cause ripples in the music industry,” he stated.

Even before the work is started, Kwaw Kese has already tagged the collaboration which he says will be a blend of Gospel and Hiphop as ‘Gospop’.

He revealed that he will soon initiate talks with the songstress and then they will take it from there.

Kwaw Kese, who was a guest on Adom FM's Drive programme, Ofie Kwanso Monday also commented on Gifty Osei’s costume on stage during her performance at the VGMAs which has generated so much controversy and for which she has issued a public apology.

For the hiplife/hiphop star, even though he was shocked at the attire, he felt that Gifty made God look sexy on the night.

He said he was shocked that a gospel musician will wear something like that while performing to a large audience he believes she should be commended for wearing a costume that befitted who she really is instead of behaving like some of her colleagues who sometimes give off a ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude.

Kwaw Kese however commended her for apologizing to those who were offended by her attire saying it was in the right direction and advised that musicians be decent whenever they appear on stage.

He noted that there is no difference between secular and gospel artistes but some people always tag secular musicians as sinners which is far from the truth.
