MOG Music has faced criticism and received serious backlash on social media after the artist failed to declare his stand on whether he supports LGBTQ or not. The artist chose to keep his answer confidential and tried to move away from the question which generated a lot of rumours about the artist. He disclosed that many people had misquoted him on his stand and interpreted his decision as someone who supports the LGBTQ community. Many people criticized him for being lukewarm about the bill and said as a believer of Christ his answer should have been directly ‘No’.
In a recent interview with TV3, MOG Music decided to clarify things that some bloggers just misquoted him and wanted to generate traffic on his words that was why he was trending. He indicated that he was not afraid to declare his stand but he just decided to keep mute on the matter.
“I want to set the record straight. Some bloggers and some websites are misquoting what happened on your sister station. The question was on the bill. The bill that has been passed and the bill that has been sent to the Supreme Court, and the refusal of the president to sign it. It was not on the whole LGBT+ issue. And I said I didn’t want to talk about it. Because of who I am. I don’t want to talk about it.
“However, I will not want to indulge myself in these communications, because of the sensitivity of the issue,” MOG Music said.
He also added that as a staunch Christian, he stands with the faith of biblical teachings and was not going to deviate from the right path.
“My stance on this LGBT+ thing is clear. We’ve had an issue with this same statement somewhere three years back, and we brought a statement out clearly saying that I’m a Christian and I stand with the scripture. What the Bible says is where I stand. I am not going to go against my faith and do something wrong,” he stated
MOG Music indicated that his decision about the matter should be respected as the bill that awaits Supreme Court and the president’s consent.
“What I don’t want to comment on is the passing of the bill and also the bill being taken to the Supreme Court and the president’s refusal to sign. I don’t want to comment about it. And I think Ghanaians should respect my position about this thing, and it has nothing to do with my faith,” he said.
