She argued that neither she nor Pastor Love possessed the academic background to compose such songs, stating, “Just like myself, Pastor Love is not academically sound, so it’s a lie that he was my songwriter.”
However, Pastor Love, who has been following the narrative closely, did not take kindly to these remarks. In a viral video circulating online, he vehemently refuted Obaapa Christy’s claims, launching a series of accusations and insults against her.
“Have you ever written a song before?” he questioned. “I’ll keep insulting you for a whole month; if I’m not tired, I’ll continue. Village woman, unserious woman. You’re a curse. All these people who call themselves gospel musicians. Do you even live out the messages in your songs?” Pastor Love lashed out.
Further escalating the dispute, Pastor Love accused Obaapa Christy of using him for publicity and laid a curse upon her, stating, “Anytime you sing any of the songs I’ve written for you, you’ll die an instant death.”
