Welcome to Ghana where majority of its population are Christians and everything which goes against the Christian faith brings up issues. Jesus Christ is the founding faith and almost all Christians believe in him as the son of the Most High God. With a talent choosing the name Geesus, it becomes a problem to the highly spiritual individual. They can’t relate to the name as it’s pronunciation sounds the same spiritual son of God. Arts is all about creativity and not everyone will understand / appreciate it.
Had a conversation with Krystal Geesus (that’s how I have saved his name on my phone since that’s what I know) concerning a new song I received in his email. The name was FlyBoy and from our conversation what he told me was he had to change the name per advise from certain people who matter. Not that alone but his EP has also been re-named to “FlyBoy From Ghana EP”. That’s a whole new ball game. Starting from scratch to make people accept you again. Never say never but will it be possible or work work. Time will tell. I am still trying to come to terms with the new name cos Krystal Geesus sounded cool to be though. Lemme find some groundnut and chew for now.
