Renowned gospel singer Akinade Ibuoye, popularly known as Gaise Baba, has opened up about his personal journey of battling with purity, addiction, and ultimately finding breakthrough in both music and ministry.
He revealed that although he got married as a virgin, the path to maintaining s*xual purity was filled with significant challenges.
In a conversation with Chude, Gaise Baba disclosed that he began watching porn0graphy at the age of 15 and eventually developed an addiction, despite making a personal vow to uphold purity.
“Yes, I married as a virgin. I and my wife. It took more time, sir, before we find the way. I was 15 when I started watching bad things. Now, there’s something you call covenant of purity. Something you come into to say, you’re not going to have s*x, you get married. I just scribble something. I sign it, go to meet the pastor. I’m like, my covenant of purity.
“In fact, it was shortly after that I got addicted to p0rn. I knew that under the right temperature and pressure any man can fall.”
Gaise Baba also opened up about his major hit, No Turning Back, featuring Lawrence Oyor.
The song which was released in 2025 gained popularity and marked a turning point in his music career.
He said breakthrough came just two weeks after he lost his mother.
“This season everybody’s talking about kicked off like two weeks after my mom passed. Fame came at a point that I was no longer looking it.”
