Multiple award-winning gospel artist, Sonnie Badu, has made some headlines for himself in the last few hours following his successful sild out concert at the Grand Arena.
The founder and leader of Rockhill Church in the United Kingdom in an interview granted after the concert mentioned that one of the challenges he faced ahead of the concert was selling his Rolex watch meant for his eldest son to finance the concert.
Soon after he made these remarks, a lot of the reports that came out sort to suggest that Sonnie Badu meant that the amount he made from selling the Rolex watch was what he used to finance the whole concert.
Amid the reports, Sonnie Badu has come out to vehemently refute these claims.
Expressing how frustration in an interview with Okay FM on December 12, Sonnie Badu expressed his outrage, stating that the media misinterpreted his words and emphasized that selling his Rolex watch did not cover the substantial $180,000 investment he made in the concert.
Addressing the misunderstanding, he explained that the watch sale was to address last-minute emergency expenses, not to fund the entire concert.
“The problem with many people is that they refuse to listen before running with a topic. It’s not the Rolex watch I sold that sponsored my concert. That’s an insult to the almost $180,000 that I spent on that concert,” he said.
The “Rhythms of Africa” concert, held at the Grand Arena, Accra International Conference Centre on December 9, 2023, featured performances from notable artists, including Kofi Peprah, Nacee, Perez Music, MOG, Piesie Esther, and others.
