Gaise Baba had called for greater recognition of Afro-Gospel at the Headies, arguing that Christian artistes who create contemporary African music should not be limited to gospel or inspirational categories.
The development has sparked differing reactions, particularly among members of the Christian music community, over whether gospel artistes should seek recognition from secular award platforms or focus on building dedicated Christian award systems.
