Most Afrobeats artistes sing rubbish — Pastor Paul Enenche

Nigerian pastor and televangelist, Dr Paul Enenche has criticised secular music and Afrobeats, saying many songs in the genre have a negative influence on young people.

The Senior Pastor of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre made the remarks while addressing members of his congregation. 

During his sermon, he argued that many Afrobeats songs lack meaningful lyrics and promote values that do not benefit youths.

Speaking on Afrobeats, the cleric encouraged young Gospel artistes to continue producing songs that connect with younger audiences while promoting positive values and life lessons.

“Most of those Afrobeats are just saying rubbish. Smoking Indian hemp while they are singing and influencing the youths in negative ways. By the time you have this positive replacement for such garbage, then your life can not follow such a direction. 

“And I trust that in time to come, more of this [energetic Gospel] music will be very word-loaded to disciple you, show you steps to take, how to stay away from negative friends, how to make the right decisions and so on,” Enenche said.
