He also added that they had no business seeking validations from institutions like the BET. According to him, the entertainment industry is in the grip of the devil. He wrote:

“I feel the pain of mainstream gospel artistes who feel slighted that Tems, an evidently secular musician, was awarded the BET award for best gospel song. That said I believe it's about time that committed christians stop seeking validation from fickle institutions like the entertainment industry mafia which by the way is in the grip of satan.”

chuksugwueke:

“That's because the entertainment industry didn't actually intend for the real gospel or gospel artists to thrive, coz if they do, they gonna convert souls fr. In fact It was intentional propaganda that brought gospel into the affairs of these entertainment bodies in the first place. They only select the inspirational gospel songs not the real spiritual ones, that way something like this category can happen and end result always justifiable... ‍♂️ The category is best international inspirational/ gospel song, Not just gospel.”
