Gospel artist Gaise Baba has accused the Headies awards of marginalising gospel music in major categories, arguing that faith-based music should be judged alongside other genres based on the quality and impact of their music. In an open letter to the organisers, Gaise Baba, who has been involved in the Nigerian music industry for over 15 years, expressed disappointment at the omission of the Inspirational category during the 2025 Headies ceremony.
He argued that gospel music should not be confined to an inspirational category but should compete in mainstream categories based on its artistic merit, similar to how rap music is judged regardless of its subject matter.
