Veteran gospel musician Edward Akwasi Boateng has announced plans to venture into the ride-hailing business, following advice from fellow gospel artiste Diana Asamoah.
The renowned “Makoma So Ade” singer made headlines in 2024 after revealing his financial struggles, lamenting the lack of support from the gospel music community. In response to public concern, Prophet ElBernard Nelson Eshun gifted him a Toyota sedan to help ease his burden.
Diana Asamoah later advised Edward to consider using the vehicle for Uber services as a means of earning a stable income. Although her suggestion initially drew backlash and was rejected by Edward, he has since reconsidered.
Speaking in an interview with Tony Best on Akoma Mmre on Akoma FM on June 18, 2025, Edward Akwasi Boateng confirmed that he has now accepted the idea—though he plans to use a different vehicle.
“It is only a fool who does not listen to advice. I’ve accepted Diana Asamoah’s suggestion, and I plan to use the Honda gifted to me by Prophet ElBernard for Uber services,” he stated.
Edward also noted that his approach to the ride-hailing business will be unique, with a focus on high-profile clients rather than everyday commuters.
“I won’t be picking random passengers. I’ll be targeting specific clients—wedding grooms and brides, funerals, and guests at special events,” he explained.
The move marks a new chapter for the gospel icon, as he finds innovative ways to sustain himself while staying connected to the public.
