Tanzanian gospel singer Goodluck Gozbert has publicly set fire to a Mercedes Benz he received as a gift from the controversial preacher Nabii Geor Davie. Gozbert claims that the car, which he was gifted in December 2021, does not align with God’s will.
The incident, which has quickly spread across social media platforms, was captured on video where Gozbert is seen igniting the luxury car, explaining that both the vehicle and the meal he shared during the gift-giving ceremony were displeasing to God.
This act has sparked widespread discussion and controversy, particularly among fans and followers of both Gozbert and Geor Davie.
Nabii Geor Davie, known for his lavish gifts to various artists and public figures, had presented the car to Gozbert as a sign of appreciation for his musical contributions and humility.
However, Gozbert’s recent actions suggest a shift in perspective, possibly influenced by personal spiritual revelations or community feedback regarding the acceptance of such opulent gifts from religious leaders.
The singer’s decision has been met with mixed reactions. Some applaud his stand against what they perceive as the inappropriate mingling of material wealth with spiritual practice, while others view the act as an extreme response to a generous gift.
Goodluck Gozbert, renowned for his hit songs “Acha Waambiane” and “Ipo Siku,” has not shied away from controversy in the past, but this event marks a significant and public statement.
He has hinted at further discussions on this matter, suggesting that he might reveal more about his decision and its implications for his faith and career.
