“Divisions In The Gospel Fraternity Creates Disunity” – Joseph Matthew Raises Concern
UK based Ghanaian Afro-gospel artiste, Joseph Matthew has disclosed that the apparent factions in the gospel industry is creating poor unity among the artistes.
He mentioned that even though he doesn’t reside here but plies his music business in Ghana, he occasionally comes home to promote his works and has noticed the unfortunate happening which is causing great harm to the industry.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Joseph Matthew explained that his position was not mere speculation and neither was he on a mission to court unnecessary attention to himself, but believes the growing trend shouldn’t be encouraged.
“From where I sit, I can confidently say that secular artistes show more love to each other and there is unity among them than our gospel artistes. There are some supposed gatekeepers promoting some artistes in the name of being managers and it appears when you are not part of their team, it is difficult pushing your works.
“Some gospel artistes have been boldly talking about these gatekeepers and factions but no one is paying attention to their concerns.
“I don’t live here but I have experienced it and that is why I’m bringing the industry’s attention to it. It will only breed disunity and slow the industry’s progress,” he stated.
Last December, gospel singer Patience Nyarko called out the likes of artiste manager, Nii Noi and members of the Table of Men for sabotaging gospel artistes who were not in their camp.
Joseph Matthew, however, believes that the problem goes beyond blaming few people in the industry but rather there is the need for a collective approach.
“This shouldn’t be a blame game at all but a time for reflection. We can learn something from our secular artistes and how they even collaborate among themselves. Do we have such high collaborations among gospel musicians? Let’s ask ourselves.” he queried.
With songs such as “Hallelujah”, “Nyame Ye”, “My Story”, “Not Alone” and “The Name” gaining some popularity in Ghana, Joseph was emboldened to host his maiden concert at the Perez Dome in 2022.
He is currently promoting the video of his latest song, Promise Land.

Ghanaian rising music producer, singer, songwriter, and artists manager known as NAY RIDDIMS, previously Prince Of Beatz, has released a new song titled ‘Gizella Tsasso’ for Awutu Senya West MP.
In a caption seen by Riddims Ghana, the hardworking producer, who also owns ‘The God Records’, celebrated after being contacted by the MP for a campaign song.
Here is what he wrote:
History has repeated itself.
The young business man stated – I am not a politician, I mean business.
I am a young growing business man… I shall work for any party… I shall promote the good works of any party because Ghana is mine as well, and as a good citizen, it’s my responsibility to support anyone with similar interests.
NAY (Nay Riddims) is a young music producer formerly known as Prince Of Beatz since 2016, and has recently signed a contract in 2024 with our Honorable Gizella Akushika Tetteh Agbotui – the Sitting Parliamentary Candidate for Awutu Senya District constituency. This is a huge achievement for The God Records Label.
At present, this is not his initial experience collaborating with a politician. He previously collaborated with Honorable Hannah Serwaa Tetteh in 2016.
During the year 2016, he competed with various artists and secured the contract.
He expressed, “I am a musician and a young entrepreneur striving to make a positive impact.” Music is like a spouse to me; I value it greatly. I intend to take this seriously.
Still, I respect the courage and braveness of our only Mother, our MP Hon Gizella Akushika Tetteh Agbotui.
