The Media Certifies The ‘Joseph Matthew Afro-gospel’ Brand
The conversations on whether or not if Christians in Africa will accept other sounds and rhythms from the ‘world’ to infiltrate the norm of Gospel music we know and believe in. Reggae, dancehall and Hiphop in one way or the other was accepted into the genre. Since music in itself is dynamic and changes do happen to it from time to time, there was the need to try out more sounds to win more souls for the church.
Afrobeat with regards to genre, which has become the new craze in the world is now fast being infused into the Gospel culture, which is a good move. Some few years back, it was not a tangent to go on as many christians frowned on it.
Joseph Matthew, the very first Gospel musician who took the bold step to champion this agendum received so many backlashes then because many were those who could not fathom the concept of the new sound. Joseph who was far ahead of his time, kept on pushing unperturbed because he saw a future in the fusion of Afrobeat and the Gospel of Christ kingdom, to formulate the genre. In fact, he was the first Gospel musician who used the term some years ago even before it evolved and gain grounds.
Some few presenters and pundits who were music geniuses saw the future in the Afro-gospel genre, so they applauded Joseph Matthew, and appreciated his craft and loved his brand. Amongst the few are Frank Kwabena Owusu (Franky 5) of Hitz 103.9 FM and Dr. Cann of blessed memory, formerly of Happy 89.9 FM endorsed the Joseph Matthew brand.
Checkout some videos of presenters and pundits comment on the Joseph Matthew brand even before the “Afro-gospel” genre became a thing in Ghana and blew all over the continent.

A shocking revelation has sent shockwaves through Ghana’s music industry, as dancehall icon Shatta Wale has come forward to dispute a claim made by legendary musician King Ayisoba. The controversy surrounds the circumstances under which Shatta Wale, then known as Bandana, met the late Terry Bonchaka, a Ghanaian music legend.
Terry Bonchaka’s legacy continues to inspire and influence a new generation of Ghanaian musicians. His impact on the music scene was immense, and his friendships with emerging artists like Shatta Wale, King Ayisoba, and Kay Smooth are well-documented. However, a recent interview with King Ayisoba on Hammer Time has sparked a heated debate about how the three met.
In the interview, King Ayisoba made the astonishing claim that he and another artist, Biblicman, were responsible for introducing Shatta Wale to Terry Bonchaka. This assertion has been met with skepticism by many, and Shatta Wale has now come forward to set the record straight.
In a separate interview on “Time With Hammer”, Shatta Wale provided a detailed account of how he met Terry Bonchaka. Contrary to King Ayisoba’s claim, Shatta Wale revealed that it was Terry who rather introduced himself and Ayisoba to each other. This testimony is corroborated by Kay Smooth himself, who shared his version of events in a recent video.
In the video, Kay Smooth explained that he was friends with Terry Bonchaka and attended school with Shatta Wale. When Shatta Wale expressed his admiration for Terry’s style and requested an introduction, Kay Smooth facilitated the meeting. This account provides the final piece of the puzzle, confirming that King Ayisoba’s claim was indeed false.
The controversy surrounding King Ayisoba’s claim has sparked a lively debate about the importance of honesty and integrity in the music industry. Shatta Wale’s response and Kay Smooth’s corroborating account have provided clarity on the circumstances surrounding their meeting with Terry Bonchaka.
As the music community continues to evolve, it is essential that we prioritize truth and accuracy in our narratives.
