Gospel minister Moses Bliss has addressed and firmly denied rumors suggesting a rift between him and his former label signee, Ebuka Songz.
During the inaugural live edition of the WithChude podcast, hosted by Chude Jideonwo, Bliss opened up about the situation with warmth and clarity.
When asked about the speculations surrounding Ebuka’s departure from his record label, Spotlite Nation, the ‘Too Faithful’ crooner maintained a positive tone, describing Ebuka as a “great guy” with a promising future ahead.
He emphasized that despite the narratives circulating online, their relationship remains rooted in mutual respect and support.
Speaking candidly, Bliss reflected on the emotional side of being misunderstood, especially when intentions are pure.
“We are humans, and you feel a certain way if people misconstrue your intentions,” he admitted. “But you know, I’m very concerned about impressing God. My intentions are very pure, and everything is born, you know, out of love.”
Bliss went on to commend Ebuka’s talents and dedication, confidently declaring that, “Ebuka is a great guy. He would do very well. I think that the world has not seen the best of him yet. The world has not seen the years. I feel like, yes, he still has greater years—with good mentors—and you know, he’s going to do even greater things.”
Bliss took time to explain that the departure of artists from a label is a normal part of growth and evolution in the music industry.
However, he pointed out that Spotlite Nation operates differently from the traditional record label model, functioning more as a ministry than a commercial enterprise.
“My label is more of a ministry than a business,” he clarified. “So I would somehow want to respond the way Jesus would respond. And if anything is going to come in the way of ministry—of representing God—I will take the path of ministry. I’m a man of God, (so) I have to respond like a kingdom person. I’m not going to respond like the world. It doesn’t matter how I feel.”
Rather than harbor resentment, Bliss found joy in seeing Ebuka thrive. He explained that his true reward comes from witnessing positive outcomes in the lives he has impacted.
“The consolation and the joy is that we have been able to contribute support where necessary,” he said with satisfaction. “He’s definitely not where he used to be—not how he met us. He’s doing a lot of good for the kingdom. He’s impacting a lot of lives. Just seeing that alone, my joy is full. I don’t care what anybody thinks. I’m happy for him. I’m rejoicing for him. I’m rooting for him.”
His remarks underscored a spirit of kingdom-mindedness, placing the growth of the gospel above personal feelings.
Bliss also revealed that his support for Ebuka remains active, even after the latter’s departure from Spotlite Nation in 2024. He shared how he continues to recommend Ebuka for opportunities without hesitation.
“Sometimes they still call me for events: ‘We need an Ebuka.’ I say, ‘Yeah, sure—Ebuka is available.’ So it’s all love for me,” he said with a smile.
“As long as the kingdom of God is expanding and the gospel is being propagated, my joy is full.” His words painted a picture of unwavering support and genuine happiness for his former protégé’s journey.
Despite leaving the label, both Moses Bliss and Ebuka Songz have consistently refuted any claims of bad blood between them. Their public affirmations of goodwill serve as a testament to a relationship founded on mutual admiration and a shared commitment to advancing the gospel.
In Bliss’s view, personal emotions should never obstruct the greater mission of ministry—a principle he continues to uphold with grace and sincerity.
