GUC, EeZee Tee share emotional tributes as gospel singer begins new chapter

Renowned gospel music minister, Gift Ugochi Christopher, popularly known as Minister GUC, and his former boss and label executive, Dr. Ezekiel “EeZee Tee” ThankGod, have publicly reaffirmed mutual respect and affection in an exchange of emotional letters, amid the singer’s transition into a new phase of his career.

In a heartfelt message addressed to Dr. EeZee Tee, GUC expressed profound gratitude for the role his former boss played in shaping both his spiritual life and music career.

The singer described EeZee Tee’s support as going beyond professional guidance, noting that he was given not only physical shelter but also emotional and spiritual safety.

“Thank you for taking me in,” GUC wrote, describing the decision as one that gave him room to grow, fail, learn and rise again without fear.

He praised EeZee Tee’s leadership example, particularly his devotion to Christ, saying it formed the foundation that enabled him to support others.

GUC further acknowledged the sacrifices, prayers, counsel and unwavering belief he received during his formative years, praying that God would reward Dr EeZee Tee in ways beyond human recognition.

In response, Dr. EeZee Tee released an equally warm message, describing GUC as a “gift” in both name and nature.

He commended the gospel minister’s character, humility and consistency, noting that his strength was evident not only in public achievements but also in quiet acts of love and selflessness.

Dr EeZee Tee also shared a token sum of money which GUC sent to him as seed, saying that he was really amazed at the depth of gratitude which GUC has showered on him.

He also praised GUC for honouring relationships in both private and public, even during challenging moments, and for choosing integrity when no one was watching.

Dr EeZee Tee said the singer’s growth, effort and promise were evident, adding that he remained grateful to be associated with him.

Significantly, the label executive confirmed that GUC is entering “a greater dimension” of their partnership, following his transition into a higher role, coinciding with the release of the singer’s first single titled GOOD GOD featuring SUMISOLA.

Dr. EeZee Tee described GUC as one of his greatest blessings and encouraged him to keep soaring, stressing that his destiny for greatness remains unstoppable.

The exchange has drawn widespread attention within the gospel music community, with many observers describing it as a rare display of maturity, gratitude and grace in an industry often marked by conflict during transitions.
