It has been observed that choristers in many Pentecostal churches in Nigeria are infusing taste of Hip-Hop and Fuji tunes into their praise and worship lyrics. Some churches even have choreography team who specialises in hip-hop steps. Is it right, proper or not really a sin?

Havialh93: Is there a specific type of music that is supposed to be strictly for praise and worship only? Tell South Africans to stop singing Kwaito or whatever in churches, tell south Americans to stop singing Samba songs as praise worship.
It all has to do with the heart. You might not sing hip hop or Fuji, but yet, your heart is unclean, but someone singing hip hop, and does it with the whole of his heart, with open minds, gets his blessings and leaves.
Rotlan: Personally, I see nothing wrong as long as the lyrics are glorifying God. At least the Yoruba use “Ewi” which was being used in worshiping their kings and traditional deities to worship in church today and no one has raised an objection. But what I really have issues with is the makosa, azonto etc being used. But all the same, it’s just my own personal opinion.
James Richard: Whether members of a particular church sing and dance alanta, Fuji, hip pop, kunkere, awilo, akpala and the rest, as long as God almighty is being worshiped, praised, adored and glorified, my guy, it is good to go. My bretheren, let’s join them in no time to dance before stones go take your place.
