Eric Omondi, a comedian, has taken the scandals that have rocked the Kenyan gospel music sector by the horns and confronted them head-on.
Although he is no stranger to controversy himself, Eric listed several well-known gospel artists who have fallen from favor. Among them: are Daddy Owen, Alice Kamande, Eunice Njeri, Guardian Angel, Jimmy Gait, Mercy Masika, Kambua, Ringtone Apoko, and many more.
A number of musicians, he said, had abandoned their ministry to pursue secular music, and he was not happy about it. Omondi also spoke up about the rumors of gonorrhea and immorality that have been circulating in the gospel sector as of late.
He singled out Willy Paul, D.K. Kwenye Beat, and Ringtone Apoko, all of whom he claimed were unable to control their libidos and slept with more than three women a day.
Saying, “Where is Daddy Owen? Just where is Jimmy Gait, anyway? What happened to Mercy Masika? Does anyone know what happened to Alice Kamande? Kenya’s musical identity was once represented by the country’s gospel music scene, but that has since collapsed.
Bahati has moved on from gospel music to secular music. Willy Paul’s scandals have overshadowed his gospel music career. DK Kwenye Beat’s gonorrhea has become more well-known than his music. His words.
Omondi also voiced concern over the effect the gospel industry’s decline is having on Kenya’s young people. He urged some secular musicians to rediscover their roots in gospel music and bless the country with songs that reflect God’s spirit.
Formerly, the most prestigious awards ceremony in East Central was the Groove Awards. The gospel business, however, is nothing like it was back in the day. On Sunday, pastor Willy Paul was seen cruising around in a yellow Mercedes, and he was reportedly on the lookout for college women.
Gospel preaching is his calling in life. We served the Lord together at Daystar University, Mercy Masika. As you sang, the Holy Spirit would descend, and many would be saved. However, at this time we have lost contact with God. The statement was made by Eric.
His criticism of Jimmy Gait focused on his exporting of young girls to work as housemaids in Saudi Arabia. “Jimmy Gait, you were once a gospel artist, and now you’re exporting our young girls as housemaids in Saudi Arabia,” he said. Getting back to work in the church is a priority. Forget about politics for a while, Bahati, and rediscover your gospel heritage. God-honoring music with the power to inspire a generation is desperately needed. So, he went on.
Omondi went so far as to say that some of these artists were encouraging homosexuality in Kenya and that they should turn back to God. He blamed them for the increase of homosexuality in the country and threatened to reveal the identities of ten former gospel musicians who are now openly gay.
Ex-gospel musicians in Kenya are among the country’s most corrupt citizens. Since tying the knot, Guardian Angel has disappeared. And you’re to blame for the increase in homosexuality in Kenya.
I can identify ten homophobes among you. Get right with God again. As a result of your actions, Kenya has become as bad as Sodom and Gomorrah. Eric Omondi made a celebratory Instagram post.
To sum up, Eric Omondi has issued a rallying cry to disbanded gospel musicians to reclaim their roots and restore the gospel music business in Kenya to its former splendor. He’s worried about the industry’s future and the damage it’s doing to today’s young and society.
