While trying to clear

You will recall that Kefee had been criticized by fans and
Christians for featuring a non-christian, Timaya in her hit track –
Kokoroko years ago.

Explaining why she featured Timaya in her song, Kefee stated thus:
“Before I react to that question, let me tell you this short true
story. In 2008, I was invited to perform at a church in Abuja for the
second time. The publicity for the show was massive as they had
distributed invitation card to guests. People were even calling to
confirm if I was going to perform. In fact, I got copies of the flyers
weeks before the show.

weeks before the show.
”I was getting ready to go to the airport when I got a call from
the pastor’s P.A, asking if I had seen a certain newspaper’s story about
me concerning my ex-husband Alec Godwin. I said yes, it was a scandal.
And he said they don’t want to have anything to do with me because of
that scandal. Besides, he added that they have top government officials
who worship in their church, and all sortS. I said okay, but the
so-called senior pastor, who called me initially to plead with me to
accept a certain amount because it was a new church couldn’t call me
anymore. He had to send his P.A to tell me that.

He didn’t care what
happened to me if what was said about me was true. I felt really low,
not because I didn’t do the show, but because they cared less what
happened to me, because that would have been the end of my career.

Now, I called Timaya. We met at a studio somewhere in Festac town,
and Timaya asked me about the same scandal. And he told me what I feel a
man of God would’ve told me. I remember, he said to me, ‘Don’t worry,
if your hands are clean, you will see God turn things around for you.
God will help you, my sister.’ I say this in all sobriety, after which
we recorded Kokoroko.
When Kokoroko came out and Timi (Dakolo) listened to it, he said
“Kefee, you dey make me like God in a different way.” Now, you tell me,
who acted like a good human? Who would have ever thought that the
so-called man of God, who now has his share of scandal and is still
planning a robust reply would act that weird?
So, when I heard people
talking about me featuring Timaya, it sounded funny. God can use
anything, anybody. Music is an art that transcends all. Timaya was good
for that song and he delivered, that’s what matters to me. I don’t judge
people. If he was a doctor, you won’t say he shouldn’t treat you
because he isn’t a Christian. It won’t matter then. All you would want
is have him do his job and that was what he did. He did a good job on
that song, you can’t deny that. And to me, that’s what counts.” She explained.
