GOSPEL musician Selina Boateng has strongly rebuked critics who condemn Gospel musicians and ministers over their failed marriages, insisting that divorce does not discredit one’s calling or ministry.
The Alpha and Omega hitmaker expressed concern over how judgmental the public has become towards gospel musicians whose marriages break down.
Selina, who has admitted facing marital issues, described such criticism as unfair and damaging, noting that nuptial challenges are personal struggles and not a reflection of one’s ability to minister.
Speaking to Graphic Showbiz on Monday, August 18, 2025, she noted that a broken home does not break a calling.
“Divorce comes with a lot of issues but I can say boldly that it doesn’t affect our ministry because we are human beings working for God. We are not perfect. The focus is on making an impact on people’s lives.”
“No one has the right to judge. Even the Bible frowns on that so why judge people when they are going through a marriage crisis? You don’t know what triggered the problems they are going through. Divorce is often beyond an individual’s control and can have devastating, emotional and psychological effects, yet society chooses to mock and criticise instead of being supportive,” she added.

Selina emphasised that society should stop bashing Gospel musicians whose marriages fall on the rocks and instead pray for them.
She credits her longevity to God’s grace and her focus on making an impact through ministry rather than seeking mere recognition.
