Being in the limelight often comes with its own share of rumours and public misconceptions, many of which can be damaging to a person’s character, especially for individuals in faith-based professions. For Ghanaian gospel artiste Noble Nketsiah, such speculation has been part of his journey, but he says he’s no longer moved by it.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, the ‘Mmofra Yi’ hitmaker addressed some of the rumours that have trailed him over the years. When asked to share some of the wild claims he’s heard about himself, Noble didn’t hold back.
“I’ve heard people say I’m gay. Others have also said I’m a womanizer,” he revealed. “It’s funny because I ask myself — how can I be both at the same time? It doesn’t make sense.”
He was, however, quick to add that he doesn’t dwell on such things, as they are often part of the price one pays for being in the public eye. “I don’t take it seriously. It comes with the territory. If you are known or in the spotlight — especially doing God’s work — people will talk.”
Noble Nketsiah explained that a lot of these assumptions stem from hearsay, and unfortunately, many people are quick to believe such stories without any attempt to get to know the truth.
“People pay too much attention to hearsay,” he said. “But when you get close to me, you’ll realise the kind of person I truly am.”
The gospel singer recalled an encounter with someone who bluntly told him that his calm and upright behaviour gave the impression that he was flawless — and that if anything negative ever surfaced about him, it would be serious. “Someone once told me to my face, ‘You always act so holy, the day your issue comes, it will be wild.’”
Despite the rumours and public commentary, Noble believes he has been sustained by grace. “I’ve been kept by the grace of God,” he said. “And I pray He continues to keep me.”
With a career that spans over two decades in gospel music, Noble Nketsiah remains one of the voices known for his humility, powerful lyrics, and consistency — attributes that continue to draw admiration from his core audience despite the occasional cloud of gossip.
