Ghanaian rapper Strongman has revealed his stance on praying in various tongues, stating that he does not believe in it.
In an interview on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show, he emphasized having a strong connection with his Maker and acknowledged praying regularly, albeit not in tongues.
The rapper further mentioned that he incorporates prayer into various aspects of his life, such as while driving, eating, or preparing to release new music.
He shared an instance regarding the release of his song ‘Transformer’, stating that he fasted and prayed for three consecutive days beforehand.
“I do pray a lot. I’m just not a frequent churchgoer, but I pray a lot. I have never prayed in tongues before. Honestly, I don’t believe in it that much.”
He expressed that it would feel strange for him to pray in a language he doesn’t comprehend.
Nonetheless, the rapper clarified that he isn’t attempting to dissuade others from practicing their beliefs, highlighting that it’s solely a matter of personal conviction because it doesn’t resonate with him.
“I just say it how I’m supposed to say it: ‘God, I’m going to Accra. Help me to reach safely’ and that’s it, I’m done,” he said.
Strongman, born Osei Kwaku Vincent, is widely regarded as one of the top-tier rappers in the nation.
