Because his music approach was unique in the market and "doors were opening" for him, Oteng disclosed that his entrance into the gospel sector sparked jealously and resentment among other musicians.
He claimed that his distinctive musical approach alarmed his peers, who were concerned that he may eclipse the current musicians' notoriety.
He said that in order to knock him down, his debut album—which featured songs like "I Win" and "God Dey Bless Me"—was transported to the cemetery and other enigmatic locations.
"I was like a new notion when I started doing gospel music, and I started breaking a lot of ground where gospel had not yet entered. All of a sudden, gospel music was getting more and more exposure. It was accompanied by numerous attacks as well. It becomes a spiritual and all-encompassing war at one point. People from the church were hurling insults and saying various things. Additionally, gospel musicians believed that the man had arrived to transform the landscape. People were engaged in a variety of activities. He said, "They took my album to places; people took it to cemeteries," during an April 5, 2025, interview on Joy Prime.
His career was harmed by the spiritual assaults and opposition, which led him to temporarily stop performing. But the musician decided to get back on his feet, get past his setbacks, and write music at his own speed.
You also want to live a long life, so you take action when you realize you need to recharge. I can quit the industry, go take care of myself for a year, and then return because I'm not really about stardom. "I don't want to constantly be in people's faces," he stated.
The gospel musician just released a new song called "Favour," which he claims is his means of reminding believers of their favor and the necessity of repeating that to themselves on a regular basis.
