“I Belong to Church”: Willy Paul Sparks Major Gospel Comeback Rumors

The Kenyan entertainment scene is buzzing after secular hitmaker Willy Paul (popularly known as Pozze) shared a deeply vulnerable post that has many believing a massive “homecoming” is imminent. On February 23, 2026, the Saldido President took to Instagram to confess a sense of internal displacement that has left his fans in shock. After years of topping the secular charts with club bangers and controversial collaborations, Pozze seems to be facing a personal reckoning.

In a candid message underscored by his iconic breakout gospel hit “Sitolia” (featuring Gloria Muliro), Willy Paul admitted that his current path no longer feels like home. The singer, who left the gospel industry years ago citing hypocrisy and “cartel” behavior, now seems ready to forgive and reconnect.

“I feel lost, don’t know why, maybe it’s time to go back home. Where it all started. I belong to the church; I should be spreading the word,” he wrote.

The possible comeback marks a full-circle moment for an artist whose departure from gospel was famously messy. At the time he switched genres, Willy Paul claimed he was sidelined by DJs and fellow artists who judged his lifestyle, leading to a four-month bout of depression and financial struggle. However, his 2026 reflection suggests that while the industry may have been toxic, his “true calling” never left him. He even accompanied the post with a video of his luxury vehicle, perhaps signaling that while he has found worldly success, he is still searching for spiritual peace.

The announcement has reignited the “Great Migration” debate, with some fans calling for a collective return of other stars like Bahati, Mr. Seed, and Masterpiece. While some industry insiders are calling it a brilliant marketing ploy for a new project, others believe the vulnerability is genuine. Whether this leads to a new gospel album or a formal return to the pulpit, one thing is certain: if Willy Paul officially makes the switch, it will be the most talked-about genre-flip in contemporary Kenyan music history.
