“Gospel Music Industry Is Darker Than People Think” – Eezee Tee

Nigerian gospel music producer Eezee Tee has described the gospel music industry as one plagued by hypocrisy, dishonesty, and pretence.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, the music executive claimed that religion is often used to cover up what truly happens behind the scenes, adding that the industry has become more focused on performance and emotions than genuine spirituality.

According to him, many gospel artistes who criticize the secular music industry are already aware of the same problems within the gospel space.

Eezee Tee said his experience working in both the gospel and secular music industries has exposed him to realities many people do not know about. He also alleged that those who challenge wrongdoing often become targets and face rejection.

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 criticize 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.”
