Speaking to the Media , Dj covenant noted that being a gospel and born-again Christian, he doesn’t engage in businesses that are against his faith and beliefs.
He said that the stories were aimed to taint his reputation citing competition in the sector.
“I would like to state that, I don’t operate any club business neither do I play music in clubs despite having friends and supporters in those businesses, “Covenant said.
He further revealed that, most people associate him with club business due to frequent visits to Club @1.7 lounge where he is the chairman of the pool table association.
He is the two-time trophy holder after he retained the championship title during the recently held tournament.
“I do frequently visit clubs for pool table tournaments and I’m the coordinator of Thika pool tournament club and a member of Monjo’s pool tournament (MJS tournament),” he said.
Dj covenant who fear coating controversy has rallied Kenyan gospel artists to compose and preach the word of God without fear.
“Let those who are called preach the word without coating controversy and we should stop judging people, ‘he said.
The gospel industry in Kenya has been facing a lot of criticism as some artists have been accused of incorporating secular influences into their music, such as suggestive dance moves and lyrics that focus more on materialism and worldly success than on spiritual values.
This has led to criticism from some quarters that such artists are diluting the message of gospel music.
Comedian Eric Omondi recently took a swipe at gospel artists in the country with what he terms a “message from God.”
Omondi in a video called out the musicians outing a few alleged ugly realities attached to the gospel industry.
While reminiscing about the days of Groove Awards and naming a few big names, he claims the industry that was the identity of the country has lost its glory.
