Veteran Ghanaian Gospel musician, Esther Smith, has said it’s not right for Gospel singers to solely focus on making money.
Speaking in an interview with B Ice on Agyenkwa FM which Zionfelix.net monitored, the ‘Onyame Ye Nyame’ singer stated that money should not be the primary goal of those who want to venture into Gospel music.
