Ebuka Sings Under Fire as Video of Peller ‘Speaking in Tongues’ Sparks Online Debate

 

Gospel artist Ebuka Sings is facing backlash after a viral video surfaced showing music producer Peller speaking in tongues during a studio session.

The clip, shared by Naija News TV, captures Peller in what appears to be a spontaneous spiritual expression, surrounded by his production team and fellow creatives. Ebuka, who was present during the session, has come under fire from some viewers who believe the scene was staged for attention.

Online reactions are divided. Some social media users describe the moment as a genuine spiritual encounter. Others criticize it as an exploitative performance, accusing those involved of using religious elements to generate buzz.

The incident has reignited debate around the intersection of faith and entertainment in Nigeria’s music industry. Critics argue that using spiritual displays especially glossolalia, or speaking in tongues as content for public consumption risks trivializing core aspects of Christian worship.

Whether the moment was authentic or performative, it has undoubtedly raised important questions about reverence, intent, and the role of gospel artists in shaping public perception of spiritual expression.
