| Tim & Oxlade. |
Gospel musician Tim Godfrey has unveiled a fresh single titled “Infinity,” featuring Afrobeats star Oxlade, a collaboration that has stirred debate among fans and members of the Christian community.
The track combines Godfrey’s gospel energy with Oxlade’s melodic voice, creating a fusion of spiritual lyrics and Afrobeats rhythm.
“With God, Nothing is impossible. My God is capable. Call am, He’s reachable. Who remembers where and what year the second picture was taken?
“INFINITY X @oxladeofficial OUT NOW! RUN IT UP”, he wrote.
Oxlade’s connection to a s3x tape scandal in 2022 has sparked controversy, as some question why Godfrey chose to work with him.
Despite the criticism, Godfrey’s decision reflects his desire to experiment creatively and expand the limits of gospel music.
The song’s release has drawn attention on social media, with fans actively discussing their opinions about the collaboration.
On Instagram, Godfrey shared a short clip of the music video directed by Ella Raaye, encouraging fans to “RUN IT UP”.
While some listeners commended the artistic blend, others expressed discomfort about Oxlade’s previous scandal.
Calebtheplugg criticised the collaboration, arguing that gospel singers such as Moses Bliss could have produced better results.
He maintained that gospel music should come from divine inspiration and that Oxlade’s participation undermines its spiritual authenticity.
He wrote: “There’s nothing Oxlade did here that Moses Bliss or others won’t execute even better! And don’t tell me it’s about audience reach,Moses Bliss has more or as much audience! This na just pure busy body,or trying to use unnecessary controversy to push your career”.
He added: “Music is spiritual,gospel music is most spiritual. The Inspirations should be from God,the artists are called ministers,their songs should be ministrations. Ministrations from God CANNOT come through a vessel that’s not grounded in Christ,you can’t hear God if you’re not grounded in his words. Whatever oxlade delivered ARE NOT inspirations from God,whIch takes away the spirituality and the whole idea behind gospel music. And you as a minister who knows this and still goes ahead to collab,is just wrong. Call it judgement,but trust me that’s what our dear minister is looking for from this controversy”.
_brownsteph questioned Tim Godfrey’s motives, alleging that he uses gospel music as a disguise for personal interests.
The user wrote: “Y’all still see this one as a gospel minister??? Lol person wey dey disguise under gospel dey run him business. So you want to tell me you were led by the Holy Spirit on this one too? Lmao”.
On the other hand, thegospelmentality urged caution, insisting that only God truly understands the inspiration and divine approval behind the collaboration.
He wrote: “Let us don’t judge in case like this o, because you aren’t there when God told him to do this collabo. If God approved it, who are you to say no? And if God don’t approve, no do Wetin God no send you oo…As music minsters prioritize doing the will of God”.
