Celebrated gospel musician Edward Akwasi Boateng has announced plans to venture into the ride-hailing business, a year after receiving a car gift from Prophet ElBernard Nelson Eshun.
The “Makoma So Ade” hitmaker, who faced public attention in 2024 after opening up about his financial struggles, was blessed with a Toyota saloon car following support from well-wishers.
Now, in a surprising but practical turn, the veteran singer says he is considering putting a second car—a Honda—into commercial use through Uber services.
In an exclusive interview with Mike Two on Adom FM, Edward Akwasi Boateng revealed that he’s come to terms with the controversial piece of advice offered by fellow gospel singer Diana Asamoah.
Recall that after he received the vehicle last year, Diana advised him to use it for Uber to generate income. This idea initially angered Edward and sparked a public spat between the two artists.
But now, the gospel legend says he sees wisdom in her words.
He also used the opportunity to dismiss the claims that he was very angry at Diana Asamoah for his advice.
According to him, he wasn’t angry just that he didn’t think Diana Asamoah was in the right position to advise him.
However, the host, Mike Two, insisted he begged Diana Asamoah to which he eventually did on live radio.
Interestingly, Edward Akwasi Boateng isn’t planning to run an ordinary Uber service.
He explained that his version will cater to a niche clientele, focusing on wedding couples, funeral guests, and even corpses, positioning himself as a premium alternative to the traditional ride-hailing model.
