Afro-fusion gospel artist Akinade Ibuoye popularly known as Gaise Baba has shared personal struggles with maintaining s3xual purity and overcoming pornography addiction.
Despite marrying as a virgin with wife, Gaise Baba, in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, said he had faced significant challenges in his journey.
According to him, he was first exposed to pornography at the age of 15, which eventually led to an addiction.
He added that, before getting married, he made a personal commitment to purity, signing a covenant.
However, this didn’t prevent him from falling into addiction shortly after.
He acknowledged that any man can stumble under the right circumstances, emphasising the importance of self-awareness and accountability.
“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 s*x, 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 p0rn. I knew that under the right temperature and pressure any man can fall,” he said.
His hit song “No Turning Back,” featuring Lawrence Oyor, marked a turning point in his career after its release in 2025.
Interestingly, he said his rise to fame occurred just two weeks after his mother’s passing, at a point when he was no longer actively seeking it.
“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 said.
