Renowned Ghanaian gospel artiste, Mary Owusu, has made a startling revelation about her past. In a recent interview on Oman FM’s “M’adwuma” show, hosted by Burundy, Mary disclosed that she had to abandon her education to pursue a career in music.

According to Mary, her passion for music grew to the point where it became impossible for her to balance her academic responsibilities with her musical ambitions. Despite being an exceptional student, Mary found herself dedicating increasingly more time to music, ultimately leading to her decision to quit schooling.

Mary’s story, however, comes with a valuable lesson. When asked to offer advice to young women who may be tempted to compromise their values in pursuit of success, Mary urged them to remain focused on their goals and to prioritize their faith.

“Let God lead you,” Mary counseled. “Work hard, earn your daily bread, and trust that God will guide you to your destination without requiring you to sacrifice your values.”

Mary’s words of wisdom come as she promotes her latest single, “Divine Selection,” a testament to her enduring commitment to her faith and her music.
