Ghanaian gospel singer and award-winner from the UK, Sonnie Badu, claims that fathers who are absent are worthless men.
He felt that a guy had to make sure his influence was seen in his children’s lives.
He clarified that although though he acknowledges that some relationship situations, such divorces, can cause fathers to be apart from their children, it does not imply that these fathers should avoid being involved in their children’s life.
In a 3 Music TV interview, he placed the blame for young guys doubting their sexuality on the shoulders of absentee fathers.
“You’re useless if another man takes care of your child except you’re dead or something, you’re useless man. There’s been scenarios where there’s a divorce and a child but the father is not responsible and the stepfather is taking everything.

“I find it very offensive because boys need their dad, most people who are struggling with their sexuality is as a result of living with mummy throughout, so all their visuals were mummy making up, mummy in high-heels, there was no man to man them up, most of them.”
He quickly added that, “most of the girls who have been abused in life as a result of not having a father who they could run to for shelter and love so they run to other men who take advantage of that”.
He added that ladies who must take on fatherly duties in order to maintain the household have been unfairly burdened by husbands who have neglected their domestic duties.
“Naturally if you’re a man you’ve got to provide but then some men have not provided and its made the women become men in the house because if they don’t do it there will be a problem in the house or the children will struggle and men have those tendencies of not really caring, they just go out and the women have to fend for themselves.”
Sonnie Badu counseled dads to be mindful of their responsibilities as parents.
“Fatherhood in the house is a big deal. And hey, talking to every man, if you have a child anywhere, go find your child”.
On December 9, 2023, Sonnie Badu is expected to host his “Rhythms of Africa” performance at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
Other gospel performers include Neon Adejo and Preye Odede from Nigeria, as well as MOG Music, Piesie Esther, Joe Mettle, Nacee, and Perez Musik from Ghana, will support the event.
The goal of the event is to impact people for the Kingdom of God by offering a spiritual journey that promises to be an amazing experience.
