It was an intensely emotional moment when a teen sensational gospel artist, Odehyieba Priscilla, was asked about her father in an interview she granted with Delay.
The young singer has in the last few months been speaking about how painful life has been for her anytime she thinks about growing up with her father playing any role in her life.
According to her account, the older siblings are close to their father, he lived with them, but the narrative has not been the same in her case. But she has been abandoned so much that throughout her sixteen years of being on this planet, she’s seen her father, Kofi Agyemang, twice and is bent on meeting him to ask questions and if possible, turn things around.
She first saw her father at Wassa Akropong and saw him for the second time in her teens when she had risen to fame. At the time, she was twelve and was launching her project. She did not invite the father but he found his way to the event held in Kumasi.
During her interview on the Delay Show aired on September 18, 2022, Odehyieba Priscilla was emotional. She shed tears profusely in answering some of the questions and in a few instances, she flashed a smile.
Delay then offered her an opportunity to say something to her father, as it was likely that he would get to watch the interview.
Odehyieba Priscilla began to cry and begged her father to come back to them.
She stressed that her father should not hold grudges against them as their children even if their mother probably did something against him to get him to leave their home.
With tears flowing down her cheeks, she appealed: “Even if it’s my mother’s mistake, you have to let it go and look for me. You don’t even know where I live but you know you have a child. I told myself I would never look for him but Bishop Adonteng Boateng told me that I have to. So, I’m waiting for the day I’ll meet you.”
“After the event, he came to our house and said we should let bygones be bygones but my mother rejected it on the grounds that she was not informed of his coming. There was an altercation and he left,” she said while adding “I know he is at Pankrono but I don’t know where exactly the house is.”
