Celestine Donkor has maintained that gospel artistes in the country are more united than they've ever been.

According to her, it is archaic for critics to say otherwise because a lot has been done in the past few years to ensure that the gospel musicians put up a nunited front to help improve the genre.

This comes in reaction to the claim made by a section of the gospel artistes in ghana, where they alleged that there exists disunity in the industry saying it makes it difficult for musicians to foster collaborations.

Artistes like Selina Boateng, Rose Agyei among others took turns to openly condemn their fellow gospel musicians for always giving excuses when it comes to collaborations.

These artistes claimed that the other artistes shy away from collaborations because there is not unity in the industry.

Celestine Donkor has stated that this is not the case.

She said this when she took her turn as a guest on the Entertainment Review Show on Accra-based Peace FM.

The award-winning artiste disclosed that she has had many collaborations with many of her colleagues and that they have even created a WhatsApp group for gospel musicians where they engage in meaningful discussions about the industry and more importantly help each other.

"I think that statement is a thing of the past because now gospel musicians are very united. I don’t know any gospel artiste that I have not done a collaboration with, I have a song with Joe Mettle, Ceccy Twum, Becky Bonney among others."

"When I write a song and look at the structure and it will need me to feature a particular artiste why not, nothing prevents me from collaborating with the person…" she explained.

"The saying that gospel musicians are not united is archaic, we have moved on long ago because recently we are all on one platform, a WhatsApp group that has everybody in the fraternity, and when I was attacked by armed robbers, they came to help me."

"Diana Hopeson, Abena Ruthy, they came home to visit me. We help each other a lot on that platform, I think people should take that thing out of their heads because it is a thing of the past. Now, we are strong and very united and we try our best to get along very well...” she concluded
