In a surprising revelation, it appears that Kenya’s Generation Z, known for their adeptness with technology and aged between 11 and 26, are immersing themselves in gospel music beyond the confines of Sunday worship, as evidenced by Spotify streaming data.
The most streamed gospel artists among Gen Z in Kenya include Christina Shusho, Maverick City Music, Elevation Worship, Hillsong Worship, and Chandler Moore.
As the melodies of gospel tunes continue to resonate across Kenya, the surge in gospel music consumption among Gen Z reflects not just a preference for tradition but a redefinition of it. Between 2022 and 2024, there has been a remarkable 365% increase in Christian music streaming by Kenyan Gen Z, indicating their fervent appetite for spiritual enrichment.
While Sundays have long been synonymous with gospel music, Spotify data reveals a shift, with Tuesdays and Fridays emerging as unexpected favorites, closely followed by Mondays and Thursdays.
The affinity for gospel music among Kenyan Gen Z extends beyond passive listening to active curation of their musical journeys. With over 70,000 gospel playlists created on Spotify by Gen Z, it’s evident that they are keen on finding music that resonates with their beliefs and experiences.
Moreover, it’s not merely about the music but also about the message. The digital landscape has empowered Gen Z to express their faith through various mediums, including podcasts. Between 2022 and 2024, streaming of Christian podcasts by Kenyan Gen Z witnessed a notable 69% growth. Among the top-listened podcasts on Spotify are “Gospel Music Explosion” and “The Daily Bible,” followed closely by “Let God Podcast,” “Apostle Joshua Selman,” and “Beyond Grace Prayer Podcast.”

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of their two-year marriage.
The pop icon, 55, and the Hollywood actor, 52, were previously engaged in the early 2000s, but parted ways before reconciling in 2021. Despite rekindling their romance, the couple has now decided to separate.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Lopez filed the legal papers on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, in L.A. County Superior Court without legal representation. Interestingly, this date coincides with the second anniversary of their elaborate Georgia wedding, which took place just two months after their initial Las Vegas ceremony.
The legal filings indicate that the couple separated on April 26, 2024. Although the divorce documents reportedly do not mention a prenuptial agreement, TMZ sources claim there was never one in place.
Rumors of trouble between the pair have circulated for some time, but Lopez, who shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony and is stepmother to Affleck’s children with Jennifer Garner—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—has remained silent on the matter. As recently as a few months ago, Lopez emphasized the “real, true love” that existed between her and Affleck, making the split all the more surprising.

The 27-year-old Grammy-winning artist will play a significant role in the festivities at the Stade de France on Sunday, August 11, 2024. Her performance will be part of the handover ceremony to the 2028 Los Angeles Games, adding a touch of American culture to the grand finale of this year’s competition.
H.E.R.’s participation adds to the excitement surrounding the Closing Ceremony, which will also feature a breathtaking stunt by Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise.
According to sources, the 62-year-old actor will descend from the top of the Stade de France, carrying the official Olympic flag. The stunt, which will be televised, is expected to be one of the highlights of the ceremony.
As part of the event, the broadcast will transition to a pre-recorded film showing Cruise’s journey from Paris to Los Angeles. The film will capture the actor skydiving down to the iconic Hollywood sign before passing the Olympic flag to a group of athletes, including a cyclist, a volleyball player, and a skateboarder, as they make their way through the City of Angels.
The Los Angeles segment of the stunt was filmed in March, with insiders revealing that the production team managed to keep the shoot under wraps despite the potential for leaks. However, logistics for the French portion of the stunt are still being finalized, with the possibility that Cruise might use a stunt double for the actual descent.
In addition to these high-profile performances, it was recently announced that Team USA gold medalists Katie Ledecky and Nick Mead will have the honor of serving as flag bearers during the ceremony.

Jamaican dancehall sensation Konshens is back with a new single, “Shek It,” a vibrant track that blends Afro-Latin rhythms with his signature dancehall flair.

Speaking on the release, Konshens says, “This marks the return of Dancehall to its glory days, all about fun and the dance floor.” He also shares a heartfelt message to his African fans: “Thank you for the love you’ve shown me, Dancehall, and Jamaican culture. The feeling is mutual, and I hope you enjoy this one!”
The inspiration behind “Shek It” is particularly special to Konshens, as he recorded the track in Kenya during an after-party, capturing the energy and excitement of the moment.
This single follows his recent success with “Look Good” and is the lead track from his upcoming studio project, expected later in 2024.
