Willy Paul explains why he quit the gospel music industry

Willy Paul has cited negativity as the reason why he ventured into secular music.

Popular singer Wilson Abubakar Radido better known as Willy Paul has set the record straight on why he exited the gospel industry. Speaking during an interview with comedian Jalang’o, the controversial singer said that he was fed up with his fellow artists being against his work and always wanting to see him fail. According to him, exiting the gospel scene does not block his blessings from God as the same God that blesses other secular artists is the same God that comes through for dedicated gospel artists as well.

“God and I have not split, I’m still his son. But the thing is, the same God that blesses Sauti Sol, Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and even Chris Brown is the same God that blesses gospel artistes.  So even before I made up my mind to go this route, I was facing a lot of challenges in the gospel industry. I don’t want to mention names but the people in the gospel industry did so much to me. There’s that feeling where you haven’t done anything to anyone but they just want to see you fail.
