Music producer Morris Babyface has made the contentious claim that some gospel performers are not interested in winning souls for God but rather in material gain and fame.
In an interview with Cape Coast-based Property FM, he said, “It is not everyone who calls themselves a gospel singer who is a staunch born-again Christian or who wants to do what Christ wants.”
The seasoned singer shared an anecdote from his experiences, describing how a musician changed from performing hip-hop to gospel to achieve success.
He disclosed, saying, “I know someone who, although having recorded Hiplife in those days, is still waiting for their big break and can promise to change and pursue gospel.
The reason the person is performing gospel music, he revealed, is not because they have a positive mindset about performing a song in Christ to win souls, but rather because they are motivated by money and fame.
“There are a lot of people who call themselves gospel musicians but are doing the same thing like this and do things anyhow and are so wicked,” he concluded.
Morris has managed several musicians, including gospel and circular musicians. Some of them are Lord Kenya, Mr. Oduro, Obour, Okomfo Kwadee, Kontihene, Esther Smith, and many more.
