The actor earlier told Zionfelix in an interview in 2019 that he does not believe that Jesus Christ came to die to save everyone in the whole world from sin. He said that many people in Ghana have allowed themselves to believe theories and mythical stories that have no iota of truth.
According to him, Jesus Christ did not come to die for the whole world as many are made to believe but he came for the Israelites and not any other group of people or country.
