Following the viral video of his struggles after years of serving the industry with soul-winning gospel songs, Edward Akwasi Boateng can now ride through the clouds in merriment as help reaches him.
The veteran musician received a brand-new car from the head pastor of Spirit Life Revival Ministry, Prophet Bernand El Bernard Nelson-Eshun, in Accra on Sunday during church service.
He also gained scholarships for his children up to the university level and an undisclosed amount of monthly stipend to keep him and his children going.
In a viral video, Edward Akwasi Boateng of “Makoma So Ade” fame was called to the front of the church, with Prophet Bernard explaining that he overheard some people talking against God due to his situation and was touched to also do his quota to help build him up.
The man of God then presented keys and documents for a car to the musician and promised to get the car registered in his name.
He also gave him money and promised to continue giving that undisclosed amount of money every month to ease his financial burden, adding that he would get his children’s name in his scholarship initiative to propel his children to become responsible individuals in the future.
Touched by the unexpected gesture, Akwasi Boateng expressed his profound gratitude to Prophet Bernard for supporting him at his lowest point.
The gospel singer whose grace to the grass story became a centre of social media discussions after videos of him selling flash drives containing his evergreen songs hit the internet earlier last week.
Akwasi Boateng also revealed that his marriage largely contributed to his present unfavorable conditions and financial burden.
Though he has been divorced for five years now, in the last two years, he has disclosed how his quest to meet the high demands of his now-divorced wife led to the sale of his 17 cars, plunging him into his current financial dungeon.
For gospel music enthusiasts, Akwasi Boateng has paid his dues in the gospel fraternity, having blessed Ghanaians with songs including “Makoma so Ade,” “Kae asem a waka,” and “Mebo Wodin.”
