Grace Ashley Quit Singing For the Black Stars
“If You’re Working for Someone and You’re Not Paid, Stop It” – Stephen Appiah’s Words That Made Grace Ashley Quit Singing for the Black Stars
Gospel musician Grace Ashley has revealed a painful encounter with former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah, which made her stop composing songs for Ghana’s national team.
“Wherever Stephen Appiah is, he should listen to me and remember that day at the airport.
Ghana had a match with Gambia in Kumasi. At that time, the Black Stars’ morale was low, and a promoter had to mobilize fans to support the team. On our way back, we boarded the same flight with Stephen Appiah.
At the car park, a man approached him and said, ‘Well done, Stephen. This woman is like your sister — you guys should take care of her. She’s the reason many women have started watching football because of her songs for the Black Stars.’
Stephen responded, ‘But the songs she sings are for the state.’
The man replied, ‘But the state doesn’t pay her anything.’
And Stephen said, ‘If you’re working for someone and you’re not paid, stop it.’
“Those words broke my heart,” Grace Ashley said. “That was the moment I decided to stop making songs for the Black Stars.”
