Veteran gospel musician Jack Alolome has shared troubling experiences that expose the growing rivalries and lack of unity within Ghana’s gospel music scene. Speaking about his personal encounters, Alolome recounted incidents that point to intense competition, envy, and professional sabotage from fellow artistes he once considered friends.
One of the most revealing moments involved a respected gospel artiste refusing to collaborate with him on a song. The reason? Fear that the song would become too successful and boost Alolome’s popularity at their own expense. This, according to Alolome, reflected the underlying envy and insecurity that plagues the industry.
The gospel singer also recalled another incident involving a travel opportunity he tried to pursue. After previously helping a colleague secure travel documents through his own personal connections, Alolome said he was shocked to discover that the same individual later blocked his chance to travel abroad. The colleague had reportedly advised the visa processing contact not to approve Alolome’s documents, suggesting that he would not return to Ghana once he left.
This betrayal came as a painful surprise, especially considering the support and goodwill Alolome had previously shown. He explained that he had initially seen no reason to travel, but when the opportunity eventually arose, he decided to go ahead—only to be met with unexpected sabotage.
These experiences, according to Alolome, are just a glimpse into the toxic dynamics behind the scenes in Ghana’s gospel music community. He believes envy, spiritual tensions, and fear of being outshined have created a hostile environment where genuine collaboration is rare.
The singer’s revelations add to growing concerns about internal struggles within the gospel music space, as more artistes come forward with similar stories of betrayal, jealousy, and missed opportunities.
