The Nigerian gospel music industry is embroiled in a major controversy as Eezee Tee, CEO of Eezee Conceptz, faces allegations of contract forgery, financial exploitation, and manipulation of artists.
The dispute has taken a new turn with popular YouTuber and analyst Beingreal George claiming that the backlash against Eezee Tee is part of a larger agenda to secularize gospel music.
“I only see one agenda in all of this—a push to secularize the gospel industry, if it isn’t already secularized,” George stated during a recent broadcast. He argued that contract disputes are not uncommon in the secular music industry, but their increasing presence in gospel music raises concerns about its spiritual integrity.
Allegations Against Eezee Tee
The controversy escalated when Dr. Roy, a gospel music producer, accused Eezee Tee of denying him royalties, leaving him financially stranded. The viral allegations have fueled criticism of Eezee Conceptz, with some social media users branding the label as “EezeeTiff Concept.”
Additionally, Mercy Chinwo, one of the biggest gospel artists affiliated with Eezee Conceptz, is reportedly at odds with the label over contractual issues. George alleged that Eezee Conceptz deliberately delayed Chinwo’s last album release to extend her contract and restricted her from ministerial engagements.
Gospel artist Jaga Testimony also weighed in, warning that the controversy could undermine the “system of God”. He specifically called out Ezekiel ThankGod, the label’s CEO, urging him to reconsider his approach to financial dealings in gospel music.
What This Means for Gospel Music
The debate continues to intensify, with industry insiders questioning whether gospel music is becoming too commercialized. As Eezee Conceptz faces scrutiny, the controversy has sparked broader discussions about contracts, artist management, and financial transparency in the gospel industry.
