Renowned Nigerian gospel artist Moses Bliss has broken his silence regarding the unexpected departure of Ebuka Songs from his gospel record label, Spotlite Nation. The announcement comes months after rumors began circulating about a rift between the two gospel icons.
Ebuka Songs, known for his hit track I Will Pray, joined Spotlite Nation on a three-year contract but exited the label after just 11 months. Addressing the issue during a press briefing, Moses Bliss disclosed that Ebuka had approached him, expressing a strong desire to pursue his ministry independently. Despite being bound by a contract, Moses Bliss chose to honor Ebuka’s conviction, stating that he prioritized peace and unity above enforcing legal obligations.
Moses Bliss shared, “When Ebuka came to me about his decision, I prayed and asked God for guidance. My goal has always been to support God’s work, whether it’s with me or elsewhere.” He further clarified that there is no animosity between them and that he continues to pray for Ebuka’s success.
The gospel music community has since been abuzz with conversations about the complexities of artist-label relationships in faith-based music. Moses Bliss emphasized that while contracts are essential to structure professional relationships, it is equally important to respect individual callings and aspirations within ministry work.
Fans have praised Moses Bliss for his humility and graciousness in handling the matter, applauding his commitment to nurturing young talents. On the other hand, Ebuka Songs is gearing up for the next phase of his journey, with supporters eagerly anticipating his upcoming projects.
This incident highlights the evolving dynamics of gospel music in Nigeria, where artists often juggle personal spiritual missions with professional commitments. Moses Bliss’ response serves as a testament to the spirit of collaboration and understanding within the gospel community.
