Drama as Gospel Radio Presenters and DJs Vow Never to Play His New Song
Chances are you’ve never watched nor heard Willy Paul’s new jam playing on any Gospel TV show or radio station. Reason? Gospel radio and TV presenters as well as DJs argue that Willy Paul went too far as the song is not anything close to Gospel music, and so only stations like Kiss 100 and One FM are playing the track.
This means, Willy Paul’s royalties from the song may not be as much as he’d anticipated because every time a song is played on the radio, the singer earns a residual payment. Apart from shows and endorsements, this is the only other source of revenue for singers, and so Willy Paul may not earn as much.
The controversy in the song, “Missi” surfaces when Willy Paul compares God to a baby, a lady and even a thug!
He says, “Ungekua kabinti ningecheza love song, huku na kule ningekufuata wewe…ungekua mtoto ningekutoa nappy, kila siku kubali ma-pampers…ungekua jambazi ungenitenda, singecomplain.”
Critics have been arguing that the song lacks creativity and is blasphemous, so much so that it’s probably the first ever song to get a 0 rating (out of 10). This has really affected song, only managing a paltry 5000 views on YouTube one month after it was uploaded, something few and far between for Willy Paul’s songs.
