Former Hip-life artiste, Yaw Siki has told TV3’s New Day that he’s sometimes compelled to do a Ofori Amponsah style by returning to his first love, Hip-life.
Yaw Siki took the music industry by storm with his hugely popular Wope Dodo song back in 2011.
Unfortunately, he got involved in a ghastly accident in 2013 and that became the turning point in his life.
He instantly became a born again Christian and ditched the ‘world’ to embrace his new lifestyle.
Yaw Siki, who is now called Brother Yaw, was asked if he misses the huge sums of money he made as a Hiplife musician.
He answered by saying Christianity has given him much more than he ever handled while in the world.
“Even then, I was not having big money, I was yet to make it big…It was even when I got into Christ that I saw the biggest money in my life.
“It was an offering, someone just called me and said Yaw, this is what God wants me to give to you, and he gave it to me,” he told New Day host Johnnie Hughes.
Speaking about his turnaround of some five years, he noted that although he is sometimes tempted to go back to the world, he takes consolation in doing the work of God; hence he is committed to sticking to preaching the gospel.
“Honestly sometimes when I am there and I see some of the people that I started rapping with, and I see they are at certain levels, I feel that if I were there, I would have been up too, but I remember that I have a mission to fulfill, and that is what is more important, because many people will be blessed.
“I am not going back, even though I am tempted to, even though I am tested to, even though there are things that want me to go back, I am not going back because I am not fulfilled there…I wasn’t fulfilled, I was empty, when I came to Christ, preaching…. These works make me fulfilled.”
