Ghanaian artiste, Ceccy Twum has openly admitted that her biggest hit was not composed by her.

She explained to the on ‘Restoration with Stacy’ that the hit track was composed by OJ while narrating the impact that her male colleagues have had on her music career.

The host, Stacy, was shocked when Ceccy Twum went further to outline that OJ composed the song for her free of charge. 

“One day, OJ called me and said he had a song for me; he was of the greatest conviction if I sing the song, it will be a hit and miracles will follow. He came home, we rehearsed it,” she recalled. 

“I was pregnant at the time... I went to the University of Ghana to perform and it was amazing. Nacee and No Tribe were there to perform as well. I had heard his name but never met him before. I wanted to see him but the crowd was massive so I left after my performance.”

“The next day, OJ called me and said Nacee wanted to speak to me. Nacee commended me for my performance and expressed interest in recording my album. He came home… When OJ brought the song, I went straight to Nacee. He produced the song pro bono. He produced the album as well,” Ceccy Twum narrated.

Ceccy Twum also paid homage to Joe Mettle, who composed Di Wo Hene’ for her.

“My latest single ‘Di Wo Hene’ was composed by Joe Mettle. He called that he had a song for me. I recorded it in his studio and featured him. He gave me the song for free, featured on it for free and shot the video for free,” said Ceccy Twum.

“Wow! God bless them. This has given me goose-bumps,” A shocked Stacy reacted.

Ceccy Twum then finally observed that the gospel industry is filled with petty squabbles that emanate from individual artistes. Because it is mostly filled with female artistes.

“Bickering is normal. It happens everywhere. But the thing is, females, dominate the gospel music industry and wherever women are, you should expect these petty quarrels. It’s natural with women,” she asserted.

“If you don’t have that connection with someone, it doesn’t mean you should be enemies. When your paths cross, just exchange pleasantries and walk away,” she said in the interview monitored by GhanaWeb.

"Be happy for the progress of your colleague. Let’s not be overly envious. There is a bit of envy in every person but when it translates into evil and hatred, it becomes problematic. Be inspired by the achievements of others,” she concluded.
