Renowned Nigerian gospel artist Akinade Ibuoye, popularly known as Gaise Baba, has candidly shared his personal struggles with purity and addiction, along with his ultimate breakthrough in music and ministry. The singer disclosed that he married as a virgin but admitted that his path to maintaining sexual purity was not without significant challenges.
In an interview with Chude, Gaise Baba revealed that he began watching pornography at the age of 15 and eventually became addicted, even after making a personal commitment to 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 sex, you get married. I just scribble something. I sign it, go to meet the pastor. I’m like, my covenant of purity,” he explained.
He continued, “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.”
Gaise Baba also spoke about his major hit song, “No Turning Back,” which features Lawrence Oyor. The track, released in 2025, quickly gained popularity and marked a significant turning point in his music career.
He shared that this musical breakthrough came just two weeks after his mother passed away. “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,” he reflected.
