Singer and pastor Sonnie Badu has warned his female congregants against wearing wigs indiscriminately.

The US-based Ghanaian said some wigs, the human hair type, were spiritually unclean, having been sacrificed first to false gods before becoming commercial products for beauty enhancement.

The RockHill Church, Atlanta, founder and leader clarified he was not banning wearing of wigs and weaves for his congregation, however.

He disputed the belief, automatically, the blood of Jesus handles all spiritual concerns with the wig once a Christian buys it, emphasising, without details in the Night of Deliverance 2025 snippet which has gone viral, there were “things you must do to it [the wig]” before usage.

For context, his utterances below:

Don’t take that anointing that hits this room every Tuesday for granted because it is definitely taking something off your life. I might pour water and mess up your beautiful wig but I’d rather your wig be messed up than the demon mess up your hair.

After all, who made those wigs? Did you not know that sometimes the wig you buy, the one whose hair is – someone of you want the real human hair – you’ve moved from synthetic to human hair.

Whose head was that hair on? And some of you that got it from India, they don’t worship the God that you worship. [For] some of [the hair] you [wear] they cut their hair as a sacrifice to the gods, and after they finish with the sacrifice, the workers gather the hair [sell] it to make money.

‘Oh, it’s been cleansed by the blood,’ [you say]. Which, which? A person that was raised by Harry Krishna her whole life [chanting strange words] is now taking off her hair and you say, ‘I like it. It’s my hair now’. You actually bought it purchased it from their altar.

I’m not saying don’t wear wigs, because some of you, I kid you not, I’d not want to see you without the wig. I’m very serious. Don’t enter here [saying] that, ‘Papa said we should not’.  Wear the wig, hey! Someone of you where your hairline starts from… Keep it! But there are things you must do to it. There are things you must do on it before you put it on your head. Because your head is your glory. The head of a woman is that [on] which her crown is placed on. Now, that wig you’ve put on, if you don’t know where it’s coming from then your crown, queen, has been stolen.
