Gospel artist Tim Godfrey recently sparked controversy when he released his latest single “Infinity”, a collaboration with Nigerian singer Oxlade.
Following the song’s release, some of the gospel star’s fans expressed disappointment, questioning his decision to collaborate with an artist who has been embroiled in public scandal.
Critics cited Oxlade’s leaked intimate videos and argued that the partnership went against the ethical standards expected of gospel music. Many suggested that Tim could have chosen someone who was “better suited” to the message he wanted to share.
Despite the backlash online, the singer chose to remain silent for a few days as talk of a collaboration grew. Eventually, he decided to address the issue head on.
Tim Godfrey has broken his silence and published an emotional open letter titled “To the Tagged.” In this heartfelt message, he reaches out to those who have been judged, rejected or ostracized because of how they look, live or express themselves.
He revealed that he understands what it feels like to be misunderstood, saying he has also been called “worldly,” “rebellious” and “unspiritual.” The gospel artist emphasized that Jesus never turned anyone away, reminding believers that “He sits with the broken, touches the untouchable, and calls forgotten families.”
Tim’s message resonates with many people who feel alienated by strict religious standards. He reminded them that grace is not defined by appearance or reputation, adding: “You may have tattoos or fears for them to stare at, but Jesus doesn’t fit the religious image either.”
Finally, the singer announced that his upcoming project No Label will be released on October 31, 2025. He describes it as more than just a music album, but a movement dedicated to anyone who has ever been “boxed, branded or broken.”
Tim believes that “No Labels” conveys a message of freedom, love and acceptance, challenging the belief that faith has to look or sound a certain way.
He ended the letter with a powerful statement: “Jesus didn’t come for perfection. He came for authenticity.”
Since the announcement, many fans have praised Tim Godfrey for his openness and for bringing a refreshing and inclusive perspective to gospel music.
