A video of gospel musician Obaapa Christy sharing a kiss on the lips with actress and singer Emelia Brobbey has gone viral, igniting a heated debate on social media. The incident occurred at the launch of Obaapa Christy’s new album, “ODENEHO.”
The video shows an excited Obaapa Christy greeting Emelia Brobbey with a kiss on the lips as the actress arrived to show her support. The display of affection has been widely described as “unusual and inappropriate” by many online commentators.
The clip has drawn strong criticism from Christians on social media, who argue that such an act is unbecoming of a gospel musician. Many have commented that Obaapa Christy’s actions contradict the values she represents through her music and public image. “Gospel musicians are supposed to lead by example. That kiss was unnecessary,” one user remarked.
Conversely, some social media users have defended the act, suggesting it was a harmless and emotional gesture between close friends that is being unfairly scrutinized.
As of this report, neither Obaapa Christy nor Emelia Brobbey has publicly commented on the backlash. Obaapa Christy is currently promoting her new album, which features several gospel tracks, including a collaboration with rapper Sarkodie.
