After months of speculation and anticipation, talented gospel artiste, Ebuka Emmanuel Hillary, well known as Ebuka Songs, has finally broken his silence and opened up on why he exited the Moses Bliss -led Spotlite Nation before completing his three-year contract with the record label.

In a recent interview on Open Up podcast, the I will Pray hit maker narrated how he met Bliss in Abuja and was later signed to Spotlite Nation. He disclosed that he left the music label because of his intention to focus on his own ministry.

He said, “I will always be grateful for the role Moses Bliss played in my life because as at that time, I had the anointing and gift but didn’t know all of these things professionally. So there was a lot that I learned and the platform opened me to a lot of things that I know right now and that are working for me now.

“I’m grateful for the journey that I’ve been through here, but at this point now; this is a next level for me to focus on my ministry. And we are on our good space. I have a reason why I haven’t said anything since that time. I didn’t want to bring more conversations around that thing, so I just kept quiet about it. We all get to the point where we just want to be focused on the next phase of our lives, and because of the assignment of God upon my life,” the Obinze, Imo State-native added.

Recall that in December 2024, Moses Bliss, the founder of Spotlite Nation, revealed that Ebuka departed the label after just 11 months. The departure sent shockwaves throughout the music industry.

Bliss earlier had said that there were no issues between them, adding that the Calling my Name, The Name of Jesus, Jesus Christ is Seen, Jesus Oh (Ft Moses Bliss), What I Preach Total Submission, New Generation and Fade Away (2024) had chosen to pursue his music independently.
