By Skin bleaching in the world over the years has become nothing new to us and everyone on the globe, as even some top gospel celebrities who have dark complexion are accused of trying to erase them for a different complexion.
No wonder the 2005 Ghana Health Service report reveals that approximately 30% of Ghanaian women and 5% of Ghanaian men were actively bleaching. The same statistic indicated that currently, 50% to 60% of adult Ghanaian women are currently or have at one time or the other actively used bleaching agents (Konlan 2016).
One would not think that gospel artists who are more or less preachers of God’s word could become victims of skin bleaching. However, in this post, I have compiled a list of top gospel artists in Ghana who have been in a particular time of their life, accused of bleaching their skin.
Lady Prempeh
Lady Prempeh is one sensational gospel artist. Issues on her bleaching sparked social media few years ago. On her rise in the Ghana music industry, Lady Prempeh had a dark complexion unlike the fair lady we see on our screens these days. This is a photo of her transformation.
Gifty Osei
Another favorite of many gospel lovers in Ghana. Gifty Osei addresses herself as the only ‘Empress’ in the Ghana music industry. She has also been accused of transforming from her chocolate complexion to a very fair woman. These photo of her transformation below confirms the accusation.

There is this idea that, if you want to look beautiful, you just have to turn your dark complexion to become fair (bleaching). Is that what these gospel artists are practicing? What of the adage that says ” Black is beauty ”.
I don’t even understand why they are all women. Would you agree that men hardly bleach their skin?
