Gospel sensation Empress Gifty Adorye has challenged the stigma surrounding divorce, asserting that it’s not a curse but a natural phase of life.

Empress Gifty and her former husband Prophet Elisha Osei divorced after marrying for over a decade. The celebrated songstress is now married to a former ardent member of the ruling New Patriotic Party [NPP] government Hopeson Adorye.

Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV’s entertainment and lifestyle show, Upside Down – co-hosted by Frema Adunyame and Nana Tuffour, Empress Gifty shared her insight that divorce is not a curse as presumed but a transition of life.

“It was a tough decision. Always going to church and all of a sudden you have to stop, you have to sit home and you have memories…but I had the right people around me…When you divorce and you don’t have the right people around you you would lose focus…So my Mother and my aunty called Mama G were there to support me”.She said

“In our world now, when you go into a divorce it’s like a curse, but you see, it’s a transition of life..It’s something bound to happen”. She added

The award-winning songstress explained that she has two daughters with her ex-husband. She stressed that, “They were 5 and 3 years old when we divorced but they are 16 and 14 years now.

Reflecting on what she has learned from being a divorcee, the controversial gospel songstress said:” I have learnt how to forgive…I have learnt how not to insult your husband – even when you are right … I have learnt how to keep quiet.. and I have learnt how to pamper a man – because that is all they want”.

 Empress Gifty who is known for monster hit songs like ‘Aseda,’ ‘Adom’ ‘Ayeyi,’ and ‘Kamafo,’ is currently making waves with her latest song, “Watch Me.” The song that has gained significant popularity was written by Highlife star Kuami Eugene.
