Moses Bliss vs. Ebuka Songs: Gospel Music and the Business of Contracts

Moses Bliss vs. Ebuka Songs: Gospel Music and the Business of Contracts

The gospel music industry in Nigeria has been thrown into controversy following Ebuka Songs’ departure from Moses Bliss’ music label before the expiration of his contract.

In a recent interview, Moses Bliss revealed that Ebuka Songs had signed a three-year contract but left after just 11 months. His revelation sparked reactions, with many questioning the dynamics of business and ministry in the gospel industry.

Ebuka Songs Reacts

Ebuka Songs, known for his powerful worship songs, responded to the claims, expressing his disappointment over the way the situation was presented in the interview.

"I was a bit sad to hear some of the things that were said about me in that interview," he admitted.

Fans React: Business vs. Ministry?

The revelation has triggered mixed reactions online, with some accusing gospel artists of prioritizing money over ministry. Others defended Ebuka Songs, claiming that his music was already popular before he joined Moses Bliss’ label.

Here are some reactions from social media:

🔹 @brendanukagod__: "Everything is now money. Even the anointing of the Holy Spirit will be sold soon in this generation."
🔹 @fredcomedian1: "Una go do rubbish, use God dey cover up, saying we have to glorify God 😂😂😂😂. Guy talk the matter!"
🔹 @greatdancelord: "Since it's all about money and contracts, let all of you just start singing worldly songs so we know you're no different from Wizkid and others."

Opinion: Should Gospel Music Be Strictly Business?

This controversy brings up an important discussion: Should gospel music be treated as strictly business, or should ministry come before contracts? While it is understandable that record labels invest in artists and expect returns, should gospel musicians be bound by contracts in the same way secular artists are?

What do you think—was Ebuka Songs wrong to leave early, or should gospel music labels handle contracts differently?
