Ghanaian singer Kelvyn Boy has criticized the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church’s doctrine, saying that it limits the creativity of its members.
In an interview with Nana Ama McBrown on the Onua Showtime with McBrown show, Kelvyn Boy, who was once a practicing Adventist, said that the church’s rules and training have stifled the talents of its followers.
“Our SDA doctrines and training have tamed a lot of talents,” he said. “The rules of the church are too many. If you move some way, they see you as contaminated and all of that.”
Kelvyn Boy, who hails from Assin Fosu in the Central region of Ghana, said that he believes that the church’s rules should be used to strengthen people, not to limit them.
“All of this should make you stronger,” he said.
Kelvyn Boy also shared the story of how his singing career began, stating that his father, who was also a singer, influenced his musical abilities.
He recalled a time when he was given the opportunity to perform in church as a young boy but was later denied the chance, leading to his disappointment.
“My father was a singer, so I got my singing prowess from him,” he said. “I remember one time I was allowed to minister in the church, I was so young they’d put me on a table so everyone could see me sing. I cried when I was denied the opportunity.”
Kelvyn Boy who is currently out with a new single called “Vero.” believes that the SDA church’s doctrine limits the creativity of its members.
