Duncan Williams son: Why I am fighting my father
Daniel William, son of popular Ghanaian Pastor , Archbishop Duncan Williams, has opened up on the acrimony between him and his father.
About two days ago, June 9, Daniel’s tweet where he made disparaging comments about his father went viral.
But in another online video interview on June 10, Daniel said he was annoyed with his father because he would not allow him do music the way he would love to.
He said the whole crisis between him and his father began when he said he was going to do music.
‘But he insisted that I should put Jesus in my song. He said I should stop singing secular songs. But I told him my music does not have to have JESUS in it that I am using music to express myself. But he would not agree to that.’ he said.
He explained further that he told his father that he should allow him do his music while he should continue to do his church because according to him that is what his heart wants.
Daniel whom many alleged was under the influence of drug and who was kept in the custody of the US police on the orders of his father said in the interview that his father was unduly overbearing.
‘My father would not allow me be. He keeps asking body guards to follow me about.. He tells them to monitor my movement and that they should not allow me to visit girls and the rest.

‘I am an adult. I don’t understand why my life should constantly be under watch.’
He said when he was 21 years of age he had to break loose from his father’s hold.
‘I told him I was tired and that I wanted a life of my own that I could not continue to stay under his roof. Music is my passion. Let him do his church. I told him a true artist sings from experience. I am not a pastor. I am on the streets with boys. Just let me do music. You can do your church.’

It is much easier to build a large congregation of followers than to raise a child that would follow one’s step after the Lord. Ministers of God enjoy much respect and acclaims when they have big Churches and flourishing ministries; but those who take time to raise good families and godly children without popular ministries are not known. Where does a minister return to after many years of traveling around the world doing ministry if he has no peaceful family? This pathetic story of Daniel and his father Duncan is a serious lesson for the younger generation of ministers. I must build my home; leading them to the Lord first and discipling them for Christ before going to ‘flex muscles’ in the Church or on crusade grounds.
