Why are gospel artistes turning into inspirational singers?
Most of them are lazy and they do it because of the love of money. Our people cannot research into good music, but let’s wait and see. We will separate the grain from the chaff. For example, King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey and few other artistes sing gospel. Q: Can you compare the era of Ayewa and others to this era? A: Those are real gospel singers, nowadays, our gospel artistes are turning into another thing. Church music should be church music. Party music should be strictly party and not polluting gospel music. Q: What has been your strength? A: I have a good pattern of music which is uncommon. I have good stage craft among other things. Q: Have you really made money from music? A: No! Q: Then why are you investing in it? A: I am investing for tomorrow. I know that investing in God’s Kingdom is not a loss. My God will return the money I have invested in thousands, even million fold. Q: Can we say that marketers are killing gospel music? A: Not really; marketers have their own faults
