Nigerian gospel singer Gaise Baba has shared a very personal story about his life. The singer, whose real name is Akinade Ibuoye, opened up about his battle with porn addiction. He said he started watching porn at the age of 15 and soon became addicted.
He shared his story on the With Chude podcast with Chude Jideonwo. Gaise Baba said even though he signed a covenant to stay pure until marriage, he still struggled secretly with his addiction. In his words, “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 sex till 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 porn. I knew that under the right temperature and pressure any man can fall.”
The gospel singer said that despite his addiction, he and his wife kept themselves pure until marriage. Many of his fans have praised him for his honesty and bravery in sharing such a sensitive part of his life. His story has inspired people to understand that struggles can happen even when trying to live right.
Gaise Baba also spoke about his music journey. He shared how fame came to him at a time he was not looking for it. His popular song “No Turning Back” featuring Pastor Lawrence Oyor became a hit shortly after he lost his mother. He said, “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.”
“No Turning Back” is actually a remix of a song he released in 2024. While the original version did not gain much attention, the remix has become an anthem among many youths today. The song is used in prayers, devotionals, and social media videos.
