Fuji musician KWAM 1 has sparked controversy after performing at a pastor’s burial in Lagos. A video showed him singing and receiving dollar bills from businessman E-Money on stage. Many have questioned why a Fuji artist performed at a Christian pastor’s burial, with some calling for a gospel artist to have been chosen instead.
KWAM 1’s performance has led to an uproar, especially among Christians, who feel that a secular artist should not have been chosen for a religious occasion. However, others have defended the choice, saying that music is universal and can bring people together regardless of their beliefs.
The event also featured gospel singer Lanre Teriba, who performed alongside KWAM 1. The burial was for Pastor Solomon Kolowale Adedite, and it’s unclear why KWAM 1 was chosen to perform.
KWAM 1 has been in the news recently for speaking out against President Tinubu’s administration, saying that policies are causing suffering for Nigerians. This latest controversy has added to his already high profile.
The debate surrounding KWAM 1’s performance highlights the complex relationship between religion and entertainment in Nigeria. While some see no issue with a secular artist performing at a religious occasion, others believe it’s inappropriate and disrespectful.
As the conversation continues, it’s clear that KWAM 1’s performance has sparked an important discussion about the role of music and religion in Nigerian culture.
