In an interview on Joy Prime Sonnie Badu shared his disappointment and revealed that during one of the most challenging periods of his life, no gospel musicians reached out to check on him while he was bedridden. 

“Not even a single one checked on me. If I hear that someone is going through a tough time, I would reach out, regardless of our relationship. But not one person did,” he said. 

Further, Recognising the lack of concern for his well-being, he found the motivation to persevere with his projects.

“When I realised that not a single gospel artist or pastor would check on me, I thought, even if I died, nobody cares; I have to rise up,” he said.
