Kcee discusses the main reason he decided to switch to gospel music.
Nigerian singer and songwriter Kingsley Chinweike Okonkwo, better known as Kcee has finally revealed his primary motivation for switching to gospel music admitted that the revenue from his collaborative gospel album, “Cultural Praise,” with the Okwesili Eze Group, outpaces the earnings from his whole secular music career.
This revelation was revealed by The ‘Limpopo‘ during an interview on Lagos’ Cool 96.9 FM.
The gospel album is Kcee’s most streamed project to date, according to the artist, who is signed to his brother’s label Five Star Music.
The artist claimed that after he released the album, many people wrote him off since they thought his career was over.
However, he claimed that even before the project was released, he knew it would be a commercial success.
Kcee said; “When I did the gospel [album] and a lot of people were like, ‘It’s over, he is actually going close to his village. Now he’s taking the music to the village.’
“That was horrible. When I heard that I was like, okay, let’s see how that works. And it didn’t happen. I made more money from it [the gospel album]; more than any ever before in my whole career.”
