There was a time when secular music seemed to be uninspired and uncreative and as such artists who feared falling off would make the quick switch to contemporary gospel music.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/09\/Bahati-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-166421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/09\/Bahati-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/09\/Bahati-1.png 520w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/09\/Bahati-1-300x207.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The biggest DJs what was that spun final and made mixes of contemporary gospel. They had the most cloud the biggest fanbase and were often the most booked with the exception of maybe one or two secular DJs. In fact, they were so popular that most companies would hire them for events favouring them over their secular counterparts.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\"><a style=\"color: #008000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/daddy-owen-practicing-celibacy-is-all-talk-gospel-singer-is-getting-some-action\/\">Daddy Owen practicing celibacy is all talk; Gospel singer is getting some action<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>Those days have long since died. The Kenyan gospel scene is bereft of any Talent and what we have seen is a reversal of all the games that were made previously. Most of the top acts have since switched to secular music. And it&#8217;s almost as if they took their fanbase along with them because the gospel audience has greatly diminished.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_150540\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-150540\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/BeFunky-project-58-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-150540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/BeFunky-project-58-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/BeFunky-project-58-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/BeFunky-project-58-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/BeFunky-project-58-1024x588.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/BeFunky-project-58-768x441.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/BeFunky-project-58-1536x882.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/BeFunky-project-58-2048x1176.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-150540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Masterpiece King proudly flaunts his sleek, brand new ride (Photos)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Why is this the case? Why did it suddenly become uncool to be associated with gospel or the ministry? Well, the biggest problem that plagued gospel in Kenya the fact that most contemporary acts are wolves in sheep clothing. Over the course of a decade, so many were unmasked and exposed that fans quickly lost faith in their role models resulting in them completely abandoning contemporary gospel artists.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\"><a style=\"color: #008000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/gospel-died-eric-omondi-speaks-on-the-gospel-music-industry-video\/\">\u2018Gospel Died\u2019- Eric Omondi Speaks On The Gospel Music Industry (Video)<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The notion was created that it was only traditional and vernacular gospel artists &#8211; you know, the type who were linked to churches the type who had come up through the Church choirs &#8211; who could be trusted.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/Dk-Kwenye-Beat.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/Dk-Kwenye-Beat.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/Dk-Kwenye-Beat.png 466w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/Dk-Kwenye-Beat-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We got to see the likes of Willy Paul the likes of DK Kwenye Beat, Mr Seed and the rest all get implicated in sex scandals.

And we have since then not yet rebounded with regards to building back the gospel market. Is also due to the fact that churches and church leaders do not connect with the youth.
