Yvonne Nelson has lashed out at Okyeame Kwame for a post he made about the Asantehene Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II where he addressed him as "God".
Born Kwame Nsiah-Apau shared a video of Osei Tutu II on his official Instagram page dancing and explained his dance moves.
Okyeame Kwame wrote: “Watching the dance carefully, Nana is communicating with his gestures, let me try and explain.He says the Left and Right is all mine. All things come together because of me, everything is mine. It was given to me by God, I have dominion on all things because I am a God. I am in God and God is in Me.
Happy Birthday, Otumfuo Osei Tutu Nyame Keseɛ we wish you longer life, peace and prosperity. May Otwediampon Kwame who lives in you multiply your territories. Thank you for showing the African how to live with PRIDE and AUTHORITY. You are ROYAL. Piaaaaaaaw.”
But according to Yvonne Nelson, it is blasphemy for the "Made In Ghana" ambassador to describe the Asantehene as God because there is only one God and he should respect "God" who brought all the things in the world into being.
"Pls correct it!!!! he's not God! With the capital G. There's only one God!” she commented
However, Rap Docta as he is affectionately called replied back to Yvonne Nelson that he intentionally wrote it and that sparked controversy on the photo and video sharing platform.
"@yvonnenelsongh it is intentionally written like that. The Offspring of a lion is a lion. The child of God is God.”
The actress cum movie producer also responded stating that it's not right for Okyeame Kwame to say so.
"I’m sorry bro, go check this one out! That's blasphemy. Anyone who thinks otherwise can decide to stay in their ignorance. We know the true G’ GOD.” She wrote.
To buttress his point, Okyeame Kwame backed his post with some scriptures : “Sister Yvonne We all experience God differently. None of Us can tell how the next Person should feel and or understand God. God is a part of Us . He is Us. We are Him. U see when I was a kid, I was told that I am Man and God lives in Me. But I have grown up to understand that no. The life in Me is nothing but Gods active force. So I am God and this body lives in Me. It’s not about calling names ( ignorance) it’s about understanding and Perspective. Read Your Bible Well. Psalm John 10 30 [sic].”
“Sister Yvonne because of the presence of God in Man I think it is disrespectful to refer to Man as a Small God (god) because it diminishes the God in Man. I would refer to a River as a small god or a deity as a Small god but Man is a Big God. Pls, ask Yourself Who came up with the concept of Small god and big God? What was their motive? Was it for differentiation or to diminish the Africans Idea of Her greatness? I love Me. I know Me. God lives in Me. [sic]” Okyeame added.
Well, a box of discussion has been opened. Who do you side with Okyeame Kwame or Yvonne Nelson?
