Ghanaian gospel star Broda Sammy is once again at the center of a heated debate after a recent performance. During Prophetess Mama Vida’s birthday celebration at the Vida Bethel Prayer Center on Sunday, June 15, 2025, the popular worship minister unexpectedly launched into a rendition of King Paluta’s secular hit, “FOKO.”
The performance, which saw churchgoers cheering and enthusiastically joining in the chorus, has ignited discussions about the evolving boundaries between gospel and secular music. While many embraced the unconventional act, lifting their hands in joy, others are left questioning its appropriateness within a sacred setting.
Broda Sammy, also known as Samuel Opoku, has become synonymous with pushing these boundaries. This isn’t his first foray into reimagining popular secular songs; he previously garnered attention for his covers of Amerado and Lasmid’s “Grace,” and has a history of performing classics by Daddy Lumba, Amakye Dede, and even Shatta Wale at various worship events. His actions consistently spark dialogue among fans and critics alike, challenging traditional notions of gospel music and worship.
