Gospel artiste Cwesi Oteng opens up on spiritual attacks from fellow musicians

Gospel musician Cwesi Oteng has opened up about some spiritual attacks he faced from colleague musicians in the industry at the early stages of his career.

Oteng revealed that his breakthrough to the gospel industry caused envy and jealousy from fellow musicians mainly because of how distinct is music style was in the industry and “doors were opening” for him.

According to him, his colleagues felt threatened by his unique style of making music, stating that there were fears he could outshine the fame of the existing musicians.

He claimed that his debut album, which included I Win, God Dey Bless Me, and others, was taken to the cemetery and other mysterious places just to bring him down.

“When I stepped out into gospel music, I was like a fresh idea and I started breaking a lot of grounds where gospel had not entered. Suddenly, doors were opening for gospel music. It also came with a lot of attacks. At a point it’s a war spiritually and everything. Church people were attacking and said all sort of things. Gospel musicians also felt like the guy has come to change the scene. People were doing all sort of things. They took my album to places; people took it to cemeteries,” he said in an interview on Joy Prime, April 5, 2025.

The spiritual attacks and resistance impacted his career causing him to take a break from music for a while. However, the musician made a decision to re-establish himself, overcome his obstacles and make songs at his own pace.

“You also want to live long and so when you realise that you would want to re-energize yourself, you do it. Stardom isn’t really my thing; I can leave the scene, go and take care of myself for a year and come back. Trying to be in people’s faces all the time is not it for me,” he said.

Currently, the gospel singer has released a new song titled ‘Favour,’ which he says is his way of reminding believers how favored they are and the need to constantly make that declaration to themselves.
