Francis Amo ‘does not condemn’ Gospel musicians collaborating with secular musicians

Francis Amo has noted he “personally does not condemn” Gospel and secular musicians collaborating for a song.
“If a secular artiste asks me to do a song with them, I’ll do it,” he stressed on Entertainment Capital, hosted by Prince Benjamin (PB) on Accra 100.5 FM.
He addressed the popular saying, “darkness and light have no communion,” offering a thought-provoking perspective on it.
“The darkness we speak about – the Bible says the darkness was there and God called out the light from it, and the light came forth. He continued his creation till he crafted the human, and gave them authority over the creation, but still the darkness was there. If you are light, someway, somehow, you need to bring someone in darkness into your light. There are so many ways to do it – relationships. That’s why we go out to do evangelism. You don’t force people and threaten them with violence, and beating. We use cunning, consolation, savoury speech,” Francis Amo indicated.
He brought up controversial Reggae/Dancehall/Afrobeats star Shatta Wale, indicating he was willing to work with him on a song. According to Amo, what mattered the most was the message of the song and the language employed.
He recognised, too, the God of the church was more interested in an individual’s private life more than their public life. By this, Amo admonished members of the public, especially those in the Christian community, to be slow to writing people off as irredeemable devils.
“If I want Shatta to follow me to church – Shatta Wale is not the devil for the songs he sings. What he does is his divine work. It is the gift in him working. Unless you stab or poison him to death but even if you succeeded, his children will inherit the gift and continue from where he left off,” the Gospel star asserted.
“I don’t understand why some people tag secular musicians are devils. Yes, the devil is real. But it’s possible the person you call and condemn as a devil is better than you who claims to be vessel of the Holy Spirit. The things you do in darkness may be much more concern than what the secular musician does in their private life.”
“I’d appeal if a secular musician comes to you, be kind in your speech, appeal to them and direct them to use appropriate language for the song you want to collaborate on,” he urged, emphasising, “It is the language or message in a song that shows if it’s off the light or darkness.”
