Gospel artist Laolu Gbenjo has stated the world will be devoid of entertainment if there are no secular songs.
He shared his thoughts on music genres, emphasising the importance of diversity in music.
In an interview on Channels Television‘s The Morning Brief, Gbenjo stated that if everyone only sings gospel music, the world would be boring.
“We have to be sincere to ourselves, if everybody sings gospel, the world will be boring. That’s the truth. If anyone is getting married, you don’t expect me to sing gospel all through, there are love songs and celebration praise. It’s just a celebration,” he said.

Gbenjo further discussed how the COVID-19 lockdown inspired him to create a new niche, Alujo Special, where he creates personalised songs for individuals.
Gbenjo also credited his father, a pastor, for influencing his singing career.
“I started singing because my father was a pastor,” he said.
