Of the beef brewing between Jaguar and Ringtone

With the recent trading of barbs going on between Jaguar and Ringtone, one has to wonder just whether there is a real difference between gospel and secular artists.

 Jaguar took a shot at all Kenya’s top emcees saying that they all wear fake bling. And if you expect this comment to draw some heat, it did. Alot of it infact and what was interesting is that it drew heat from Ringtone -a popular gospel artist.

Ringtone broke from what is oft expected from gospel artists’ conduct and dressed down Jaguar. While that is all well and good, i’m wondering why a gospel artist has launched into a verbal tirade over such vanities as bling. Ringtone reportedly said this about Jaguar, “He might claim his chain is expensive and all that. I’m told he claims he bought it at the same place Jay Z buys his. Who believes that?”
My question for Ringtone is why did you feel compelled to participate in this issue? You are a gospel artist ergo held up to a higher standard. Why would you possibly want to get drawn into this silly issue? Making statements like “Mine bears an anointed cross. His has a mere cross. Imported or not, my bling stands out” only opens you up to ridicule and scrutiny from your Christian fans and if they feel that you’re proud, you will have lost your audience. I won’t comment about jaguar because he isn’t held up to the same standards as you. His personality doesn’t get scrutinized by the public from a religious standpoint.
Then again, this is just my humble opinion.
