Veteran Nollywood actor, Patrick Doyle has addressed Christians after Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, known as Tems, won the Best Gospel/Inspirational Award at the 2024 BET Awards.
KanyiDaily had reported that Tems won the Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award for her song “Me & U” at the BET Awards on Monday, July, 1, 2024.
Tems beat popular gospel singers like Kirk Franklin, CeCe Winans, and Maverick City Music to win the award.
Taking to his Facebook page, Patrick Doyle advised Christians who are upset about Tems’ win to stop seeking approval from the entertainment industry which is “in the grip of satan.”
The actor wrote, “I feel the pain of mainstream gospel artistes who feel slighted that Tems an evidently secular musician was awarded the BET award for best gospel song.
“That said, I believe it’s about time that committed christians stop seeking validation from fickle institutions like the entertainment industry mafia which by the way is in the grip of satan.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Patrick Doyle recently criticized Christians who commonly use the phrase “What God cannot do does not exist.”
