Famed gospel singer Diana Hamilton shared a traumatic past during her high school days at Ghana National College, which inspired her latest song.
According to her, there was a gang that almost raped her during school games, and the reflection of that incident inspired “The Doing of the Lord,’ her new hit featuring Nigeria’s Mercy Chinwo.
The “Adom” hitmaker revealed this in the media when she narrated the challenging incident in which her school mother, during her freshman year, led her into a situation where she was almost ganged and raped by her seniors.
“I went to Ghana National, and it was an interco, and a sixth former literally sold me out to some big boys, and it took the hand of God not to have been raped, and I look at that, and it was the doing of the Lord that snatched me out of there, and I was that close,” she recalled.
The 2021 VGMA Artiste of the Year narrated the miraculous turn of events that led her to the streets of Kotokraba in Cape Coast after being taken away by her seniors.
“We went for Interco, and I was in my first year, and then my school mother then said follow these guys, they are going to get me some biscuits and give it to you and you will bring it to me.”
“As a fresher, I followed them by the time I realised one was in front of me and another behind me and I was in the middle then one opened the door and there was another girl so I thought it was two ladies and two boys going somewhere.”
“The next thing I saw was the one in front opened the door to a car sat in and the one behind me urged me to sit and I sat and the other guy also sat in, the next thing I heard was the other girl said ‘ɛneɛ mo byebye ooo’ [then goodbye], she left.”
“By the time I realised I was in Cape Coast Kotokraba in a funny area. It took God to give an SS1 girl the courage to tell the upper sixth formers I will not enter this house,” she narrated.
Despite the incident, Diana revealed that her school mother discouraged her from reporting it to the authorities.
