Ama Nova has admitted that she felt guilty not doing the gospel music she grew up with.

In an exclusive interview with Amansan Krakye, the pastor's daughter narrated how church members rebuked her when she started doing secular music.

According to her, the members of her late mother's church explained that she stop going to church because of the staunch criticism she received.

“When I started music, I believe that some of the critics came from church because a lot of the people expected that I will do gospel music because I’m a pastor’s child.

“It didn’t happen like that but I think that I felt a bit guilty for doing secular music so, at the point, I couldn’t attend choir rehearsals and I couldn’t also sing in church,”

The older women in the church advised her to stop doing secular music and to stop dressing in the particular way she dresses

Ama Nova noted that it was hectic for her to attend a church where everyone judged her.

“Because all the older women will come to you and advise you about your dressing and also about the dangers involved in doing secular music and use Ebony’s case as a reason I should refrain from secular music,” she revealed.

"It was really hectic for me at the time and at a point, I even stopped going to church. With time, they came to understand that the music I’m doing is not entirely bad.

“I’m doing love songs, God is love honestly and God gave me this talent because you can’t do it if it’s not a gift from God,” she told the host on Kastle FM.
