Gospel musician Yaw Siki has said he is no longer concerned about people playing his old secular songs, explaining that he has moved on from that phase of his musical career and is now focused on spreading the Christian message.
The former hiplife artiste, known for his hit song Wope Dodo, said he could not control whether radio stations, DJs or music lovers continued to play songs he released before becoming a committed Christian.
His comments reflect his current position on his earlier music, which once earned him recognition in Ghana’s entertainment industry before he shifted his attention towards gospel music and ministry.
Yaw Siki explained that his focus has changed and that he is no longer actively involved in promoting the secular songs associated with his past career.
Rather than attempting to control what listeners choose to play, he appears to have accepted that the songs remain part of his musical history, even though they no longer represent the direction he wants his career to take.
The musician’s position comes after earlier appeals for radio stations to stop playing his old secular songs because they did not reflect his Christian beliefs.
In February 2026, Yaw Siki reportedly asked broadcasters to discontinue playing the tracks, expressing his desire to distance himself from the music he produced before his religious transformation.
His latest comments suggest a more accepting attitude towards the continued airplay of those songs. While he remains committed to his gospel calling, he acknowledges that he cannot dictate the choices of radio stations or members of the public.
Yaw Siki has also explained that he sometimes performs portions of his old songs when interacting with audiences familiar with his earlier work. Such moments, he has indicated, can help people understand his personal journey and the changes that have taken place in his life.
His musical journey has attracted attention because of the contrast between his earlier career in secular music and his present commitment to gospel music. The transition has become an important part of his public identity, with his experiences providing a point of connection for audiences interested in stories of personal and spiritual change.
The artiste’s comments also highlight the challenges musicians can face when they change their artistic direction after building a following around a particular style of music. Older songs may continue to circulate long after an artiste has moved on, particularly when they remain popular with listeners.
For Yaw Siki, however, his current priority is gospel music and the message he seeks to communicate through it. His remarks indicate that he is prepared to leave the continued use of his old secular tracks to listeners while concentrating on the work he considers central to his present calling.
The comments are likely to renew public discussion about his transformation from a hiplife performer to a gospel musician and how he balances his musical past with his current beliefs.
