Yaw Siki rejects Sonnie Badu's offer

Hiplife artiste, Yaw Siki, may be in need but he has politely turned down an offer made by UK based Ghanaian gospel musician, Sonnie Badu, to assist him financially.The ‘Wo Pe Dodo’ singer said his rejection of the benevolence was because Sonnie Badu rather chose to make his kind gesture public rather than contact him privately.

Quoting scriptures to support his decision, Yaw Siki told Graphic Showbiz in an interview that it was dishonourable for people to make their good deeds known to others just for human praise.

“I’m not saying that it was his intention to get praises for the intended act but it wasn’t right to make it known to everyone.
I know that life hasn’t been easy since I gave my life to Christ but the truth is that, I just had to reject my senior brother’s offer,” he said backing his position with Mathew 6:1-4 in the Bible.

“That isn’t to say that I don’t appreciate it but of what good is a blessing when you make your good deeds public for human praise.
“If he truly wanted to assist, he could have contacted me first without making it public. I’m not in support of that because my Christian beliefs are against that so upon careful consideration, I had to turn down the offer,” he said.

Now an evangelist, Yaw Siki makes a living from offertory he receives after preaching in commercial buses and other places in the Tema Metropolis, as well as support from his family.

The young rapper gave his life to Christ after he escaped a near fatal accident on the Tema Motorway in 2013, a divine escape he attributes to the work of God who gave him a second chance to live and to use him as an instrument of His salvation.
