It added, “A genre that has historically faced criticism and unfounded accusations, afrogospel has often been misunderstood for its innovative approach to gospel music, with some critics dismissing it as a deviation from traditional gospel values.
“However, Limoblaze’s performance stood out, not just for the genius artistry but for its cultural implications. Performing hits such as ‘Gold’, ‘Rest’, ‘Put It On God,’ and ‘Good God’ with a band and live backing vocals, he displayed the power of afrogospel to merge faith and contemporary African sounds. As always, he seamlessly blended afrobeat rhythms with messages of faith and hope, resonating deeply with a diverse audience.
