Fans split over gospel–Afrobeats blend
Supporters say the blend widens reach without losing core message. They hail bold art that invites more ears to faith. Others ask if church platforms should host secular collaborators.
What we know about ‘Infinity’ so far
Infinity arrived this week with a video clip on Instagram. The single credits veteran producer Masterkraft on recent promo posts. Audio and video versions are now live on major platforms.
Godfrey is known for “Nara” with Travis Greene worldwide. Oxlade broke through with “Away” and later “Ku Lo Sa.” Both acts bring large followings and distinct live strengths.
Some cite past ties between gospel and pop in Nigeria. They point to earlier features by mainstream singers on faith songs. Others prefer clear lines that keep church music distinct.
The debate reflects a bigger shift inside mainstream Afrobeats today. Stars mix faith, pop, and purpose in new ways. Tour plans like Davido 5IVE Tour Nigeria dates show strong fan demand
