Gospel duo Wapendwa Muziki have set Kenyan social media alight after openly admitting they rely on artificial intelligence to write their songs, revealing the conversation on a recent episode of the Obinna Show.
The couple, Nina and Mesh, sat down with the host in what appeared to be a relaxed, candid chat and ended up disclosing far more than many fans expected.
According to the pair, their journey into AI-assisted music creation did not come out of nowhere. They say they had been dealing with frustrations around producers and their own creative blocks before turning to technology for a solution.

What made the moment particularly striking was their transparency about the cost involved. Nina and Mesh revealed they had paid KSh 40,000 to use the AI tools that now help shape their music.
For a gospel act, the admission raised eyebrows, given that authenticity and spiritual inspiration are values their audience tends to hold dear.
The two were filmed reviewing something on a phone during the interview, adding a casual, unscripted feel to the exchange.
The clip, shared by @psmedia.ke on TikTok, quickly gained traction online, drawing reactions from fans and critics who were divided over whether using AI is a betrayal of artistic integrity or simply a practical tool in a changing music industry.
Wapendwa Muziki have built their brand around faith-based music that resonates with Kenyan Christian audiences.
Their willingness to speak openly about the behind-the-scenes mechanics of their craft, including the use of paid AI platforms, has forced a broader conversation about where gospel music is headed in the digital age.
