Ohemaa Mercy: The Most Loved Gospel Artist in Ghana Speaks Out

Ohemaa Mercy, the gospel artist behind the hit song 'Oheneba,' has claimed to be the most loved gospel artist in the industry. In a recent interview, she expressed confidence in her calling, stating that she remains focused on her ministry and has not allowed herself to be distracted by perceptions of envy.

No Envy in Gospel Music Industry, Says Ohemaa Mercy

Gospel musician Ohemaa Mercy, born Mercy Twum-Ampofo, says she has not experienced envy within the gospel music industry. Speaking on Prime Time with George and Mercury Quaye on August 19, 2026, she dismissed suggestions that the sector is characterised by jealousy and rivalry.

She said, "The devil is everywhere, but I have not heard of any envy in the gospel music industry. I've not experienced it, so I can't talk about it." Ohemaa Mercy's comments reflect her conviction that she remains confident in her calling and believes that her faith and divine backing would enable her to overcome any opposition she might encounter.

Tehillah Experience: A Spiritual Revival

Ohemaa Mercy also spoke about the spiritual significance of her annual Tehillah Experience, which is now in its 13th year. She described the event as a revival that reaches families and challenges what she described as spiritual strongholds. The event has attracted opposition from the devil, she claimed, because it breaks into families' altars.

She attributed the continued success of the event to prayer and God's intervention, saying, "God is helping me because of my prayers." The gospel musician explained that because the Tehillah Experience is organised as a free event, she has to make personal sacrifices to finance and sustain it. She disclosed that on some occasions, she had sold her cars to raise funds to keep the event going.

Music and Spirituality

Ohemaa Mercy further disclosed that she never releases a song without first praying over it, stressing that she believes God's hand should accompany her music. She cited her song 'Mennwu Da' as an example, saying she believed its message could have a profound impact on listeners, including patients in hospitals. According to her, gospel music should not be treated as ordinary entertainment because of its potential spiritual impact.

"You cannot release a song just like that. Even worldly musicians seek God," she said. Ohemaa Mercy's comments reflect her conviction that her music and the Tehillah Experience are extensions of her Christian faith and ministry, rather than merely artistic or entertainment ventures.
