Gospel musician Piesie Esther has dismissed speculations that she is not on good terms with “Watch Me” hitmaker Empress Gifty.
The rumours began after an interview on Power FM on Saturday, September 13, 2025. During the show, host Agyeman Prempeh asked Piesie to name the winner of Artiste of the Year at the 2025 Ghana Music Awards USA. It took some persuasion before she eventually mentioned Empress Gifty’s name.
When asked if she had congratulated Empress on her award, Piesie noted that nobody had congratulated her when she won Artiste of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards Europe in 2023. Her response sparked speculation on social media, with some suggesting possible tension between the two gospel musicians.
However, speaking on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie, Piesie clarified the situation.
“The reason I didn’t want to mention Empress’s name on Agyeman’s show was that when she won the award, people said a lot about it—some said she deserved it, others said otherwise. By God’s grace, the controversy died down, so raising it again could escalate things. That’s why I hesitated,” she explained.
She added: “I don’t have any problem with Empress Gifty. I don’t know anyone who can boldly say I have an issue with him or her. It will not happen. I have a good relationship with Gifty. We talk.”
Meanwhile, Piesie Esther has released a new song, Nyame Ye, which is already winning the hearts of music lovers.
