Segun was recently invited to speak on a podcast, “Unscripted”, where she shared his perception of Nigerian Gospel artists.

According to him, many Nigerian gospel musicians are not financially buoyant and are, in fact, ‘broke’. He continued by noting that he is friends with one of the top-rated ones, who constantly complains that he regrets choosing the path.

As stated by the popular musician, the reason for this is that most Nigerians are religious fanatics.

The phenomenon went viral at the time, as Nigerians always find a way to have their own fun regardless.
