Via his TikTok page, Obinna lamented how different churches refused to entertain his idea of shooting the video at their sanctuaries yet it was a gospel song.

In his words:

"I am about to vent. I am boiling with anger right now. I am recceing, looking for a location to shoot the music video. The concept of the music video is I need to shoot in a church. I have been going to different churches, so has the director and this is the reason why I do not go to church. Church has a lot of pretenders. It's a gospel song, it is a song that is supposed to give praise."

He also claimed that most churches are petty, and they kept asking him why he wanted to shoot the videos in their churches, even though he was not a member.

"I'm like it is a gospel song, even if you are charging just say how much you are charging for the space, then we know. What type of BS? What's happening with the churches? It's the house of God, the song we are doing is a gospel song. Like if it is business, do it as a business," he further said.

Here are some of the reactions from social media users:

@Sarah Edwards said:

"People should know that money is not everything."

@David Wairimu said:

"For me, I will say it's not about the charges, those altars have people who labour for them. Every altar has a covenant made between the residents and the maker."

@Moh said:

"What hypocrisy first? You hate church yet you want to do God's work in the church?"

@Lizzy Prudence said:

"But why do you only need the church because you need to shoot a video?"

@Mesh said:

"Church is also a community and there is a need of a sense of belonging. I mean you can't just welcome any other stranger to come and do his or her thing there."

@Alicia said:

"Ungekuwa unaenda church ungeenda kwa church yenu."

@eckranyabuto said:

"Mbona msishoot kwa church yenye Wapendwa Muziki wanaenda. Ama pia huko wamelenga?"

@MS Jay said:

"It's not hypocrisy. You are a secular artiste as much as you want to shoot a gospel song."

@JN said:

"Church si club ukue na access yeyote unataka."

@Sarah Waf said:

"Lakini ni ukweli. Kwanini utafute chruch ile time unataka tu kushoot."

Elsewhere, Obinna also faced sharp backlash after inviting Isaac Otesa on his show and lecturing him.

At the time, Otesa had come out to say that Manzi wa Kibera had lied to him that she will help him get influencing gigs only to leave him stranded.

Obinna talked down on Otesa, questioned if he had any talent other than being tall, and subtly insinuated that he needed to return to what he was doing in the village.
