Reactions have continued to pour in amid the recent backlash between gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo and her former manager, Eezee Tee, CEO of Eezee Conceptz, over allegations of contract forgery, financial exploitation and manipulation of artists.
Popular YouTuber and analyst Beingreal George has suggested that the controversy is part of a larger agenda to secularise gospel music.
In a recent broadcast, George claimed that the drama surrounding Eezee Tee is a direct attack on gospel music. “I only see one agenda in all of this—a push to secularize the gospel industry, if it isn’t already secularized,” he said. “When you compare this to the secular music industry, where similar disputes happen, it raises a question. If these issues are now common in gospel music, what does that say?”
Recall that the controversy escalated after gospel music producer Dr. Roy also shared a viral video alleging that Eezee Tee denied him his royalties, leaving him financially distressed, fueling discussions about the ethics of Eezee Conceptz.
Gospel artist Jaga Testimony had earlier commented on the ongoing controversy, describing it as an attempt to undermine the “system of God.”
Weighing in on the contractual dispute between Mercy Chinwo and Eezee Conceptz, George claimed the label engaged in strategic delays and misrepresented facts to control the singer’s career.
He also alleged that the label attempted to postpone her last album to extend her contract and prevented her from attending ministerial engagements
