Veteran Ghanaian highlife singer, Rex Omar, has said that what humans call sexual immorality is a relationship between a man and a woman which is acceptable.

The highlife singer who is known for composing sexually explicit songs said even God who is the creator of man understands sexual immorality.

The songwriter said this while speaking on the Delay Show and also noted that sensible songs don’t sell, hence the reason he sings immoral songs, the GhanaWeb reports.

“It is God who created us. God understand sexual immorality. What we as humans call sexual immorality is a relationship between a man and a woman. There is nothing sexually immoral about me writing about my wife. Abiba is my wife. Konka: ‘AbenaMma pa maame’ is my wife’s name.

“So like a songwriter, if I write about my wife or like a painter, and you see it as sexually immoral; I can decide to paint my wife’s naked picture or half naked picture, she is my wife.

“I deliberately composed those sexually explicit songs,” the ‘Abiba’ hitmaker said.

“Sensible songs don’t sell at that time. That was the time; the group Nakorex split and people had forgotten Rex Omar; so I needed to bounce back.

“I released Kotosa and I think that album has a whole lot of good songs which I promoted but did not receive the needed attention.

“It was during that period I had been to England to work. I visited Ghana to hear songs like Gyedu-Blay Ambolley’s Radoradozo (woman e nyash, something dey der) making hits.

“I said to myself, okay, this is what they want. Upon my return to England, I remembered I called my wife and said to her, look, I’m going to write songs about you and don’t bring your ‘Chrifey’ here. So I wrote Abiba, Konka and some other songs and it worked,” Rex Omar added.

Rex Omar real name Rex Owusu Marfo first rose to prominence in 1989 with the Aware Pa album which also included the track, Wodofo Ne Hwan?

Following this, in 1992 he formed the Highlife Supergroup Nakorex together with fellow Highlife artists Nat Brew and Akosua Agyapong, the group’s name being an acronym made up of the first letters of each member’s name. He then pursued a solo career. In 2004 Omar was nominated for a Kora award, and in 2005 he was nominated as Artiste of the Year in the Ghana Music Awards.
