Nigerian filmmaker Patrick Doyle believes that the devil controls the Nigerian entertainment worldwide.

He expressed this opinion in response to singer Tems’ winning the Best Gospel Award at the BET Awards ceremony held at the Peacock Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles on Monday, July 1, 2024.

Doyle raised concerns about a secular musician beating mainstream gospel artistes to win that category.

In his statement, the filmmaker advised gospel singers not to seek validation from the entertainment industry mafia.

He wrote, “I feel the pain of mainstream gospel artists who feel slighted that an evidently secular musician, Tems was awarded for best gospel song.

“That said, I believe it is about time that committed Christians should stop seeking validation from fickle institutions like the entertainment industry mafia which by the way is in the grip of Satan.”
