He said:
“Yes, I married as a virgin. I and my wife. But it took more time, sir, before we find the way”
He explained that at just 15 years old, he was already exposed to explicit content and quickly became addicted to p*rnography, despite making a personal vow to abstain from sex before marriage.
He stated:
“I just scribble something. I sign it, go to meet the pastor. I’m like, my covenant of purity. In fact, it was shortly after that I got addicted I knew that under the right temperature and pressure, any man can fall.”
Just when it seemed like life had broken him, breakthrough came—but it came during his deepest moment of grief.
According to Gaise Baba, fame found him only two weeks after his mother passed away.
He said:
“This season everybody’s talking about kicked off like two weeks after my mom passed. Fame came at a point that I was no longer looking for it.”
The turning point came with the release of “No Turning Back” featuring fiery worship minister Lawrence Oyor. The song blew up in gospel circles and became a healing anthem for many.
