Afro-pop artiste cum evangelist, Kas Shobayo, popularly known as Kas Beats, maintains that being an evangelist doesn’t stop him from performing at secular events.

The ‘fimile’ singer told Sunday Scoop that:

“Some of the promoters try to shy away from me sometimes. Being an evangelist doesn’t stop me from performing at secular events. Though my music has changed, it is still the same kind of beat. They are still beats that can be played in the club. The difference in my music now is the message. Music is not just about mentioning girls. Now, my songs are about real-life issues and praising God. I am not a pastor; I am an evangelist. A pastor stays in a church and preaches to his audience, but as an evangelist, I go out. I preach in hospitals, on the street and in universities. I do my own seminars and crusades. When I do these outreaches, we give people food. There are some places we go to preach and they expect us to take tithes and offerings. When Jesus was preaching and he saw that his audience was hungry, he gave them food. That is the same pattern I am following. I am an evangelist.”

Sharing the inspiration behind his new single, Oladele, he said:

“It is an inspirational song about people belittling one and one rising against all odds.”

Kas also stated that the whole world has recognised Nigerian music as a force to be reckoned with.

“The whole world has now recognised that we are a force to be reckoned with and I believe that music began in Africa. I respect all the young boys that are coming up and I wish they find God. I wish them more love and more success,” he said.
