Gospel Music Industry Is Darker Than You Think – Eezee Tee

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Nigerian gospel music producer Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, professionally known as Eezee Tee, has made a startling revelation about the state of the gospel music industry.

In a recent Instagram post, he described it as darker than many people realise.

The producer stated that the industry is clothed in hypocrisy, lies, denial, pretence, and deep religion, making it difficult for people to see through it. He noted that it is more performance-based than spirit-led and driven more by emotions than spirituality. He added that most gospel artists who criticise the secular industry are aware of this reality.

Eezee Tee, who has been in the industry for a while and has engaged with both gospel and secular spaces, warned that once one stands against evil, they become hated and targeted.

He wrote:
"The Gospel Music Industry is darker than what you think.

It is clothed in hypocrisy, lies, denials, pretence, and deep religion, so folks rarely see through it.

It is more performance-based than spirit-led. Driven more by emotions than spirituality.

Most of the gospel folks who criticise the secular industry know this for a fact.

I have been here for a while and have been privileged to engage with both industries, and trust me, you have no idea the evil that goes on in the Gospel Industry.

Once you stand against evil, you're hated and become a target.

May Jesus help us."
