Award-winning gospel singer Tim Godfrey has addressed the backlash he received after featuring Oxlade on his new song titled “Infinity.”
Many fans criticised the collaboration, arguing that as a gospel artist, Tim should have chosen a “more suitable” partner instead of Oxlade, who has faced past controversies — including a leaked private video that once trended online.
Reacting to the criticism, Tim Godfrey penned an emotional open letter addressed to individuals who have been “judged, misunderstood, or labeled because of their appearance, lifestyle, or past mistakes.”
The singer wrote:
💌 OPEN LETTER TO THE LABELED 💌
To the one they called too much.
To the one religion judged before hearing your story.
To the one who stopped going to gatherings because the whispers were louder than the sermons.This is for you.
I know what it feels like to be labeled. To be misunderstood because of how you look, how you express, or how you create.
I’ve heard the words too — “worldly,” “rebellious,” “fake,” “unspiritual.” I’ve seen the stares, the distance, the disapproval.
But here’s what I’ve learned: Jesus never labeled people — He loved them.
He sat with the broken, touched the untouchable, and called the forgotten family.
You may carry tattoos on your skin or gold in your hair. You may have dreads that make them stare. You may have been told you don’t fit the “religious image.”
But guess what? Neither did Jesus.He was rejected, misunderstood, and called names — yet He loved louder, healed harder, and forgave deeper.
So, to everyone who’s ever been boxed, branded, or broken — you are seen, loved, and chosen.
And no matter what label they’ve put on you, Grace still has your name on it.Romans 8:38–39 – “Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
You don’t have to clean up to come to Him — you come to Him, and He does the cleansing through love.
Titus 3:5 – “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.”
Tim Godfrey also revealed that his upcoming project titled “No Label” is more than just an album — it’s a movement meant to remind believers of unconditional grace and inclusion.
“On October 31st, 2025, we’re releasing more than an album — we’re releasing a sound, a cry, a movement.
NO LABEL isn’t just music, it’s a message — a reminder that grace has no dress code, and the finished work of the Cross still covers every story, every scar, every soul.
Because Jesus didn’t come for the perfect; He came for the real.”
His heartfelt message has since received praise from fans and fellow believers who applauded him for promoting inclusivity and compassion in gospel music.
