BullGod of Bullhaus Entertainment has sparked controversy ahead of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards by expressing plans to push for a secular artist to win the Artiste of the Year award over gospel artist Piesie Esther.
“We will not allow any gospel artiste to win the Artiste of the Year this time,” BullGod said on New Day. ” Piesie can come back in 2034 as far as she is not retiring. This year if you look at what our people in the world have done as in the Black Sherifs and Stonebwoys,”
The statement has received backlash from the gospel music community, who see it as an attack on their genre and faith. The statement has ignited a heated debate about the role of religion in music and the fairness of pitting secular and gospel artists against each other in the same category.

“Church of Pentecost, Church of Presby, Anglican,” he stressed. “They can all join but they won win. Against Lucifer?? How?? They won’t win…This is Lucifer against God and God understands that will win”
While BullGod maintains that the Artiste of the Year award should be based solely on talent and popularity, regardless of the artist’s genre or message, many gospel music fans and artists argue that gospel music deserves its own separate category. The controversy surrounding BullGod’s statement is expected to continue as the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards draw near.
