Award-winning Ghanaian gospel diva Obaapa Christy has recounted some of the challenges she encountered when she started performing in churches during her early days.
Speaking in an interview on Property FM in Cape Coast, the ‘Glory’ crooner said she was paid Gh¢10 which was made up of torn Gh¢1 notes.
“When I started singing at churches at the beginning of my career when nobody actually knew me, sometimes after performing it was difficult to be paid after the event.
“Sometimes I had to walk back home after performing at the church and that time I was paid with one cedi notes and I remember that very well,” she continued.
She added “The church might have finished counting the money they got after the service and I was paid with the torn one cedi notes which was about 10cedis.
“After I’m paid with the 10 cedis I used some of the money to buy food to quench my hunger and after I had to walk back the distance to wherever I came from which was very hectic,” she recounted on the show.
