Sonnie Badu says no gospel musician checked on him after a domestic accident prior to his Rythms of Africa concert

US-based Ghanaian pastor and gospel musician, Sonnie Badu has spoken out about the neglect he faced from his fellow gospel singers after he encountered a domestic accident in December 2023.

The singer underwent a surgery after he stumbled on the steps between the garden and the metal railings in his home while cleaning and watering.

Despite his condition, Sonnie Badu, who hadn’t fully recovered, was later seen performing at his Rhythms of Africa concert in Accra on December 9

This caused people to claim on social media that his injury was not severe and only staged to gain attention for his Rhythms of Africa concert.

Reflecting on his experience, the Rockhill Chapel founder lamented the treatment he received from fellow gospel singers during his ordeal.

He said none of the gospel musicians checked on him to find out how he was faring.

“Not even a single one checked up on me. When I realised that not even a single gospel artist colleague or pastor would check up on me, that’s when I said even if I died, nobody cares; I have to rise up quickly,” he stated in a recent interview with Joy Prime.

According to him, he would have made an effort to check on others if the situation had been different.

“Personally, if I heard that somebody had gone through something or seen it, I would have been calling. I don’t care whether I’m cool with you or not. But not even one person did,” Sonnie Badu stated.

However, he was quick to add that a few pastors such as Nigerian Pastor Jerry Eze, Prophet Agyemang Prempeh of Ultimate Charismatic Centre, Apostle Amoako Atta of the Lord’s Parliament Chapel International, and Pastor Kingsley, showed him love by reaching out to him on some social media platforms.

He said the injury became worse on the day of the concert, but he endured the pain and performed to his best ability at the concert.

The musician is thankful to God for His healing grace and mercy, adding that the fall was initially toward his head but then shifted to his leg, which could have resulted in death.
