VIDEO: Gospel Singer Gifty Osei performs Shatta Wale’s ‘Freedom’ Track at 2017 People’s Celebrity Awards
Gospel singer Gifty ‘Empress’ Osei rocked the stage at the 2017 People’s Celebrity Awards with her very own renditions of NDC’s ‘Onaapo’ and Freedom by dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale.
Tweaking the lyrics of both songs to suit the gospel genre, the gospel artiste thrilled patrons of the awards ceremony with her ‘gospel’ version of both songs.
Supported by backing vocalists, who sang the chorus ‘Onaapo’, Gifty Osei used the lyrics of the NDC campaign song to praise Jesus, indirectly stating no one cannot be compared to him.
Gifty Osei switched to Shatta Wale’s latest hit ‘Freedom’ song, with the backing vocalists singing the chorus, though they changed it to ‘Jesus’. She added her usual creativity by including the phrase ‘I am that I am’, while dancing to the live band music.
Irrespective of uncountable backlash about her dressing and places she performs, Gifty Osei ‘did her thing’ for fans who came to witness the event.
Prominent personalities including Asamoah Gyan, DKB, Ahoufe Patri, Kalybos, and Dr. Paa Kwesi Ndoum were present to grace the event.
Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, TeePhlow, Fancy Gadam, KiDi, Kuami Eugene, Ebony and others also brought the auditorium to a standstill.
