Gospel Singer, Obiora Obiwon turned to social media to respond to a revelation made by the rave of the moment, Rema.

The gospel singer responded to the Mavin Records artist’s announcement that he had switched from the Christian music scene to pursue a career in secular music.

Rema confessed on Channels Television’s Rubnin’ Minds on Sunday that he began his career in the church but later switched to secular music.

He said, “I was still in Benin when that switch happened. A lot of people thought that when I got signed, I started deviating.

“No. Actually, life was tough in Benin. I’m not that guy to ask the people in church to pay me because I’m doing God’s work.

“Right there in Benin, I started going to competitions, going to bars, lounges, political rallies; just trying to get on the stage and hold a microphone, to at least get sprayed some money to come back home and feed my family, because we were going through tough times.”

Obiwon who switched from secular music to being a gospel singer said,

“Question to Christian creatives and Gospel Music stakeholders: How can we change the narrative?

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not implying that everything “secular” is bad. However, stories like this, (which are more preponderant), send the wrong signal down the line to a whole generation as regards dedicating one’s art to the faith they profess and live by.

“If we are being effective in our witness as Christians, why aren’t we hearing more stories of sons who answered the call to switch and use their art to proclaim the gospel that saved them? Thoughts?”
