The award ceremony was held on June 30 in Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, United States, with Hollywood actress, Taraji P. Henson, as its host for the third consecutive time.
The nominees in the Best Gospel/Inspirational category were Tems, Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Cece Winans, Shirley Caesar, Erica Campbell, Halle Bailey, Naomi Raine, and Chandler Moore.
However, Tems, who is known as a secular artiste, bagged the award for her song Me & U. The award unsettled Daniel who stated that it was a mockery to the Christian community and also labeled it as an insult.

“To show the award has no relevance. They give who they want to give. What is the gospel song she sang exactly?”
@stritmotivation:
“I still come dey wonder if the song na gospel and wetin e dey inspire? Only Me & U wey b love song. Dem probably chk it up in the wrong Dico.”

Daniel Regha tackles Simi and Tiwa Savage
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Daniel had rebuked famous singers Simi and Tiwa Savage over their new song.
In the song, the singers described men as crazy and scum, and this did not go down well with Daniel.
He noted that Simi was married to a man, and Tiwa had a son; hence, attacking men in their first collaboration wasn’t cool.
