It’s Hypocritical To Think Secular Songs Corrupt Christian Listeners – Joyce Blessing

Gospel singer Joyce Blessing has openly criticized the belief that listening to secular music corrupts Christians, describing such a mindset as hypocritical.

According to her, it is contradictory to claim that secular songs can negatively influence Christians, stressing that believers should be able to appreciate music across genres without compromising their faith.

In a recent interview, the Victory hitmaker argued that the idea that Christians and gospel musicians must completely avoid secular music is flawed. She noted that while some gospel artistes and pastors, including Lenny Akpadie, insist that secular songs undermine Christian values, many secular tracks actually carry positive, motivational, and life-affirming messages.

“It’s not correct; it’s hypocrisy to say that. There are secular songs that are motivational,” Joyce Blessing said.

She highlighted examples such as Akwaboah’s No Pressure, Sarkodie’s verse on Countryside featuring Black Sherif, and Stonebwoy’s Strength and Hope—all of which, though secular, deliver powerful messages of resilience and encouragement.

Her stance directly contrasts with that of colleague gospel artiste Lenny Akpadie, who recently claimed that gospel songs written by secular musicians lack the presence of the Holy Spirit. He strongly opposed the idea, insisting that it undermines the sacred nature of gospel music.

By sharing her perspective, Joyce Blessing emphasized that not all secular music is harmful, and many songs can uplift, motivate, and inspire regardless of their categorization.
