Gospel singer Bidemi Olaoba recently became a topic of conversation on social media following a clip from his live performance at the Christian concert 84 Hours of Marathon Messiah’s Praise, which began on March 3.
The event featured a lineup of gospel artists, including Dunsin Oyekan, Chioma Jesus, Simisola Agbebi, and Toluwasings, who all performed in celebration of Pastor E. A. Adeboye popularly known as Daddy GO of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), marking his 84th birthday this year.
Olaoba’s high-energy performance quickly caught attention, with many viewers on social media sharing their reactions. Some critics expressed concern over his choice to incorporate the viral secular meme “Yakubu manage,” which gained popularity in late February 2026, into the church praise session, arguing that it blurred the line between entertainment and worship.

@Faladynamite:”Entertainer Bidemi Olaoba doesn’t disappoint, “Yakubu manage” in the praise session supposedly meant for the Holy One. Charlatans on our tribune. Abihu and Nadab will be shocked at what some have turned “Grace” to sha.”
@Dalexxy151:”I feel the guy should have spiritual fathers or better still mentor that can call him to order….He’s gradually becoming an entertainer and not a music Minister.”
@okparawife:”Redeem church needs to stop inviting this guy. His rubbish is getting too much.”
@KingsZekiel:”I clocked it recently that most church praise sessions now is not really about glorifying God, people want to do what will get people jumping all through then forgetting who the praises should be going forth to. I don’t see these guys again as I used to.”
@Demon_Bulldozer):”Sorry ooo But when did the “Yakubu manage” trend come out that a music “minister” already integrated it into “praise and worship” See ehn… Hnmmmmm.”
@Viizkiz:”I think it’s becoming cringing that bidemi olaoba picks trends and infuse em in his songs Why would you add “yakubu mange” to your song? You are already a good performer. You don’t need to force it. Gospel Music should be an inspiration from God not an internet trend.”
