In April 2024, Prophet Odumeje dropped his Amapiano hit “ Power “, and now Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre has done the same. On Sunday, the publicity-loving pastor dropped the video of his 2018 hit song , ‘Elee’, which draws heavily from the Amapiano sound. Although native to South Africa, the Amapiano inspires Nigerian musicians and producers.

Spotify data released on Sunday revealed that Davido’s ‘Champion Sound ’ is the most-streamed Amapiano song of the decade. Aside from secular producers, some gospel singers have been inspired by Amapiano, notably prophet Odumeje, who recently gained attention for his song “Powers” featuring Flavour. Due to the similarity in using the Amapiano sound, many Nigerians have compared Mr Enenche’s ‘Elee’ and Odumeje’s ‘Powers’, especially the hook and chorus.



While some fans saw striking similarities between the two preachers’ recent songs, others quickly pointed out the differences. They argued that Pastor Enenche has a long-standing history in music, unlike Odumeje. Although Odumeje had a musical career in the past, he is considered newer to the scene than Pastor Enenche.
