Gospel musician, Cynthia Appiah-Kubi popularly known as Cee has shared a harrowing experience she had while staying with her Auntie as a child.
In narrating her ordeal, Cee disclosed that she was maltreated by her Auntie she stayed with as a child and was subjected to unfair treatment due to her situation by then.
She further added that there was a time when she was tied among persons who were said to be witches for deliverance by a pastor outside the church premises after her auntie accused her of being one even though it was not true.
“When my auntie told a pastor that I was a witch, I remember they tied me up. They tied me with a rope outside a church for the pastor to go and cast the demon in me. It was raining and I was among the people there waiting for the pastor to deliver us. So the prophet came and then he saw me with those who were witches there. Then he asked, ‘Who brought this little girl?’ Well, I thank God I was young. I felt there was no need to continue life,” she said.
She also stated that she would starve if she failed to go and sell some food items and was required to prepare food in the evening while her auntie’s children wouldn’t do anything in the house.
Cee further noted that she was depressed and traumatized by the experience which she thanked God did not affect her life adversely.
Cee is a gospel musician who gained popularity in Ghana through her exploits in the TV3 Mentor reality show. After the contest, she was signed onto Bandex Music and released monster hit songs with label mates Isaac and Great Ampong.
However, she is no more with the label.
The Life-Changing Ordeal
Cee opened up about the struggles she went through in life before God changed her story to become who she is today.
In narrating her story, Cee indicated that she was struggling to make ends meet when she was a child which forced her to sell some food items to raise money for her upkeep and survive in those moments.
“When I went to mentor I went with Ghana Must Go bag. I had nothing on me. I sold pork meat and ice cream. If I don’t sell that day we won’t eat. So I was doing that anytime I closed from school and I had to come back home early and prepare food,” she said.
She further disclosed that had it not been for God’s grace, she could have been killed by poverty because things were tough for her.
Cee also recounted how her cousins and other people used to mock her about her looks which made her want to commit suicide to put an end to the ordeal.
“That’s the reason why I don’t want to allow any of my children to stay in Africa. Poverty is a disease. If God doesn’t intervene, it can kill you. Sometimes I have to go to houses to throw trash away and wash people’s bowls to be able to get food to eat,” she revealed.
“There was a man who told me I was very ugly and that day I was hurt and I cried. Even my cousins would tell me I was ugly that’s why men didn’t like me, I wanted to commit suicide. I never knew I could become like this, God had a purpose for my life,” she recounted.
Also, in a heartwarming revelation, Cee laid bare the agonizing truth behind her decision to forsake fame and fortune to secure a better future for her children.
She recounted the painful memories of her past, each scar a testament to the trials endured and the sacrifices made.
“My children are my everything. I vowed to give them a life far removed from the struggles I faced,” she whispered, her voice a fragile melody of love and longing.
“I had it all. The fame, the accolades, the moments that most musicians only dream of. But none of it compared to the thought of seeing my children thrive in a world untouched by the shadows of our past,” she confessed, her voice trembling with emotion.
