Singer Addresses Controversy Surrounding His Hit Song “Aseda”
King Paluta responded to the controversy surrounding his hit song “Aseda,” following its recent performance by Rev. Father Peter Kusi Twumasi during a church service at St. Stephen Rectorate, Bodomase.
The priest’s decision to lead his congregation in singing the song sparked mixed reactions, leading him to issue an apology for allowing a secular song in a sacred space.
In his response, King Paluta expressed his appreciation for the priest’s acknowledgment of his work, lauding him for embracing the song.
However, he addressed the backlash, firmly stating that “Aseda” is not a profane song.
“So, to that particular pastor, I will tell him that we are in this together, but when I see things like this, it saddens me because ‘Aseda’ is not a song that will destroy the youth in the community.”
