Dunsin Oyekan’s comments on Nigerians mixing gospel and secular songs, particularly in the context of Spotify Wrapped 2025, highlight his concern about Christians who listen to both gospel and secular music.
He notably questioned how one can expect to hear from God when they are simultaneously listening to secular artists like Asake, emphasizing a conflict between spiritual focus and worldly music consumption.
The general discourse around this topic, fueled by Oyekan’s statements, revolves around the spiritual implications and authenticity of worship when believers engage with secular music as part of their playlists.
This has sparked debate among listeners about the boundaries between gospel and secular music and the impact of such choices on individual spirituality.
Spotify’s Wrapped 2025 data for Nigeria shows that while there is a strong love for gospel music as represented by artists like Sunmisola, gospel and secular music often coexist in listeners’ playlists, reflecting the diversity of music consumption in Nigeria.
This coexistence is a point of tension in Oyekan’s viewpoint, where he advocates for a more distinct separation to maintain a focused spiritual life.
