Gospel music star Tim Godfrey has sparked widespread discussion online after unveiling his new single, “Infinity,” featuring Afrobeats sensation Oxlade.
The track, released this week as part of Godfrey’s forthcoming 12-track album No Label, fuses uplifting gospel melodies with Oxlade’s signature Afrobeats and R&B rhythm. While many fans have applauded the collaboration for its bold creativity and genre-blending appeal, the partnership has also drawn mixed reactions from sections of Nigeria’s Christian community.
The Controversy
Critics argue that Oxlade, known for secular chart-toppers like “Ku Lo Sa” and “Away,” should not appear on a gospel song, asserting that the collaboration blurs the line between sacred and secular music.
Despite the criticism, others have defended the track as a refreshing way to share faith-inspired messages through a modern, globally appealing sound. Social media platforms, such as X and Instagram, have become key battlegrounds for this debate.
Godfrey’s Vision
Tim Godfrey, in a statement introducing the track, described “Infinity” as a “magnificent song” that reflects his mission to deliver faith-inspired music to a broader audience. The single follows the release of “Praise the Lord,” another track from his upcoming album, No Label.
