Few years ago, the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) in Ghana banned celebrities from endorsing or being the face of alcoholic products. Some celebrities spoke against it, saying it was a source of income for them.
Gospel Musician, Patience Nyarko has indicated that she would have accepted an ambassadorial deal for an alcoholic beverage if she was a secular musician.
Speaking to Nana Kwame Gyan on Accra Fm’s weekend entertainment show, the gospel act also affirmed that it was a source of income for many celebrities, therefore does not agree with the FDA’s ban.
“I can’t endorse alcohol as a gospel musician…but I would if I were a secular act. But I’m a gospel musician now. I don’t take in alcohol, however I would have endorsed it,” Patience said.
She added that although the ban may be good, it’s affecting the celebrities and it is driving businesses away.
