Patrick Doyle advises gospel artists upset over Tems’ BET Award for Best Gospel Song
Popular Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has offered advice to gospel artists who feel slighted by singer Tems’ win at the BET Award for Best Gospel/Inspirational Song.
Many Nigerians were surprised when Tems, primarily an Afrobeats artist, won the BET Award for Best Gospel Song with her hit track “Me & U,” a category usually dominated by mainstream gospel artists. Despite notable nominees such as Kirk Franklin and Halle Bailey, Tems emerged victorious.
Addressing the situation on his Facebook page, Patrick Doyle consoled gospel artists who were disheartened by the outcome.
He advised them to stop seeking validation from unreliable entertainment industry institutions, which he described as being “in the grip of Satan.”
His words: “I feel the pain of mainstream gospel artistes who feel slighted that Tems an evidently secular musician was awarded the BET award for best gospel song. That said I believe it’s about time that committed christians stop seeking validation from fickle institutions like the entertainment industry mafia which by the way is in the grip of satan.”
