Ghanaian gospel musician Sonnie Badu has come out to attack irresponsible fathers who don’t take care of their children.
In an interview with 3 Music TV, he called out fathers who were not present in their children’s lives and tagged them as useless, saying it causes their male children to be confused about their sexual orientation.
According to the gospel artist, fatherhood is a big deal and he cautioned all absentee fathers to go out there and look for their kids and take care of them. He also talked about how most men leave all the responsibilities to the women, causing the women to rather be the men in the house. This was what he said:
“You’re useless if another man takes care of your child except you’re dead or something; you’re useless, man. There’s been scenarios where there’s a divorce and a child but the father is not responsible and the stepfather is taking everything.”
“I find it very offensive because boys need their dad; most people who are struggling with their sexuality is as a result of living with mummy throughout, so all their visuals were mummy making up, mummy in high heels; there was no man to man them up, most of them.”
“Most of the girls who have been abused in life as a result of not having a father who they could run to for shelter and love run to other men who take advantage of that.
Naturally, if you’re a man, you’ve got to provide but then some men have not provided and it makes the women become men in the house because if they don’t do it, there will be a problem in the house or the children will struggle and men have those tendencies of not really caring; they just go out and the women have to fend for themselves.”
“Fatherhood in the house is a big deal. And hey, talking to every man, if you have a child anywhere, go find your child.”
