Pastor Paul Enenche Criticises Afrobeats Lyrics, Urges More Youth-Focused Gospel Music

Pastor Paul Enenche has criticised secular music and Afrobeats, saying many songs lack meaningful lyrics and negatively influence young people. Speaking to his congregation, the Dunamis International Gospel Centre pastor alleged that some artistes promote drug use and harmful behaviour through their music. He urged young gospel artistes to create energetic, message-driven songs that can guide youths towards positive choices. Enenche said gospel music should address issues such as avoiding negative friends, making sound decisions and building a disciplined life.

The concern about harmful messages is understandable, but Afrobeats is broad; not every artiste or song promotes drugs.

Blaming a whole genre may miss the point. Lyrics matter, but listeners, families, and platforms also shape what young people absorb.

Rather than only criticising secular music, gospel creators can invest in strong songwriting, relatable themes, and production young listeners genuinely enjoy.
