Nigerian singer Ric Hassani, born Ikechukwu Eric Ahiauzu, has opened up about why many gospel musicians leave the church scene for secular music. He believes the shift isn’t mainly about money, but about purpose and personal fulfilment.

“I Started in Church, But It Wasn’t My Calling”

In an interview with Hip TV, Hassani revealed he began his music career in the church. Over time, however, he realized gospel music wasn’t his true calling.

“I started in church, but I later understood that gospel isn’t for everyone,” he said. “It takes more than talent. You need grace to pass God’s message through music.”

Hassani noted that some singers are not called to minister spiritually. Instead, they are meant to express their gifts in other ways.

“Not Every Talented Singer Belongs in Church”

He used global stars as examples to make his point. According to him, someone like Katy Perry can’t sing gospel the way CeCe Winans can. He said CeCe has the grace to carry the Holy Spirit through music, while others like Whitney Houston were gifted differently.

“I’m a strong Christian,” he added. “I include at least one gospel song in each album. But I can’t do what Frank Edwards or Mercy Chinwo do. That’s not my assignment.”

“It’s About Fulfilment, Not Just Money”

Hassani dismissed the idea that gospel artists turn secular for financial reasons. According to him, true creatives seek purpose, not just income.

“Everyone loves money, but real fulfilment comes from creating,” he said. “If it were about money, Davido wouldn’t make music. He already has it all.”

He said that making music and seeing your ideas come to life gives a joy that money alone can’t match.
