Gospel music minister Pastor Nathaniel Bassey has celebrated Nigerian gospel rapper and singer Greatman Takit, describing him as the “Archbishop of the Gen Zs” during the Hallelujah Challenge Grand Finale. While acknowledging Greatman Takit’s influence among younger generations, Bassey reflected on his own early experiences in ministry, revealing that some people initially struggled to connect with his style of music.
According to him, some listeners did not pay attention to his music because they felt it made them sleepy. “When I began to do ministry early enough, some people didn’t listen to me because they said my music was making them sleep. Yes, it’s true,” Bassey recounted. He further revealed that a particular pastor had personally told him that his music made him sleep.
“I Didn’t Bother”
Bassey explained that despite the reactions he received, he did not allow the criticism to discourage him from continuing his ministry. He recalled that years later, he found himself speaking about the significance and impact of the same kind of music that some people had initially dismissed. His reflection offered a perspective on how musical expressions and styles can be received differently by different generations and audiences.
