March 22, (THEWILL) – Gospel singer, Segun Obe, is hitting back at critics who accused him of being part of a singing reality show that they tagged as ‘un-Christian.’
Segun, who is the younger brother of popular singer, Tunde Obe, is a voice trainer on the Nigerian Idol, a talent hunt television show.
In an Instagram post, the singer encouraged his naysayers to confront him, rather than throw subtle shades at him.
Obe also wondered why people who have not gotten their life together are always quick to judge others.
“I usually don’t address issues that fly around cause I am too busy to focus on irrelevant things, but I must do this to create some sort of balance…
“People like to have an opinion about your life and advise other people on their social media pages when their own lives are not ANYWHERE close to perfect, if you will make a post stylishly throwing shades at me cause I am currently working on a (non-christian) project at the moment, please do it to my face or tag me in it so we can talk one to one,” he wrote.
“I am and REMAIN a gospel artist and a devoted christian, my job on the other hand is just that… A JOB, if you turn yourself to ASSISTANT JESUS overnight and feel the need to condemn me in your heart it’s fine, at the end of the day, THE LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS, Thank God that man ain’t God though.
“I will NEVER address this issue again cause your opinion at the end of the day means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to me.
“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, if my recent posts irritate you, feel free to use the BLOCK or UNFOLLOW buttons on your device. I know who and whose I am……”
Segun has ministered in several countries all over the world and shared the stage with notable gospel acts such as Dr Panam Percy Paul, Lionel Peterson, Donnie McClurkin, Kirk Franklin, Kurt Carr, Jonathan Nelson, Micah Stampley amongst others.
He also trains individuals and choirs both in Nigeria and abroad.
