Francisca Gawugah, better known by her stage as Sista Afia, is a highlife singer who has stated that if she had practiced black magic at any point in her career, it would have been the end of her career.
During an interview that was broadcast on Accra 100.5 FM in the middle of the morning with Nana Romeo, Sista Afia was asked about what would push her to acquire a hit song in the industry. She responded by declaring that nothing could convince her to engage in what is known in Ghana as “juju,” which is a form of witchcraft.
“Nothing will make me go to seek black magic for a hit song. Yes. Nothing. I always say, where I’ve gotten to, I have nothing, but determination, and God is what has brought me this far.
“If God has brought me to this place in [my career] and I’m still going, why on earth would I go and take something that will kill me… will kill my career within the next two months? It doesn’t make sense. So I’ll rather stick with what I have,” she emphasized.
She said that some people in life do little while others also put in their all when pushing their songs, but success does not guarantee the longevity of the success. Sista Afia also shared her opinion on how some artists gain success overnight.
“Everyone has their unique blessing. You never know what the artist who’s a hit today’s family members did for them to be this blessed. So when it comes to issues like this [I don’t bother or envy anyone],” she shared.
“For me, my grandparent has 35 kids. So how do you expect me to get there right now, considering all the curses that have been sent our way,” she joked and laughed.
