Nigerian gospel artist Akinade Ibuoye, better known as Gaise Baba, recently spoke about his appearance, which has sparked a heated debate among critics, especially within the Christian community.

Gaise Baba gained attention on and off social media following the remix of his song 'No Turning Back' with gospel singer Lawrence Oyor.

The song, which is centred on dedication to Jesus Christ, has, however, stirred mixed reactions, with a Nigerian pastor condemning it.

According to the pastor, the hit song did not convey the actual intent of its original version.

Gaise Baba, during an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, spoke against judging people by their appearance.

The gospel singer disclosed that he is connecting with a new generation of Christians whose fashion sense differs from the norm.

He added that he is as deep, anointed, called, and sent as any father of faith.

"People are looking on the outside, looking at the tinted hair, do you know my consecretion, do you know what I do in secret place, if you hear my words you will know I am not a random person, this is because there is a new generation I am connecting with, I am as deep, as anointed, as called and sent as any father of faith," he said.

Gaise Baba also stated that the music industry is still evolving, adding that it is “struggling for newness”.

Reason behind criticisms against Gaise Baba

Spiricoco, a Christian influencer on X, explained the reason behind the criticisms against gospel singer Gaise Baba.

"The song is good, but Gaise Baba is what raises questions for a lot of people. His methodology, doctrine reflect a gospel singer not deeply rooted in the faith. He says he performs at clubhouses, and that gospel music is not for those in the church primarily, but those outside. That is not true," he said.
