Popular comedian and actor-turned-preacher, Oluwatoyin Bayegun, better known as Woli Arole, has expressed concerns about the current state of the Nigerian gospel music industry.

In a recent Instagram post, Woli Arole lamented the prevalence of "hypocrisy, worldliness, and cabalism" in the industry. He noted that invitations for gospel music ministers to perform are now often based on personal connections rather than spiritual guidance.

Woli Arole also criticized the blurring of lines between gospel music ministers and secular artists. "We can't differentiate whether you're a performer or a minister," he wrote.

His full post reads:

"The level of hypocrisy, worldliness, and cabalism in the gospel music industry in Nigeria is alarming. Oh yes! Invitations are based on who you know, not as the Spirit leads. Music ministers too—we can’t differentiate whether you’re a performer or a minister. It’s well!"
