Gospel minister and singer Prophet DM Siame has sparked controversy on social media following allegations that he has been using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to create and produce his recent gospel tracks.
Although the singer has not officially responded to the claims, fans and music lovers have taken to social media platforms to voice their mixed reactions. Some praise his innovation, while others question the authenticity of his sound particularly the “unusual pronunciation” of Bemba words in his songs, which they believe could be a sign of AI involvement.
The criticism has quickly turned into a viral online debate, with many listeners challenging Prophet DM Siame to perform live and prove that his vocals are not AI-generated. Despite the backlash, others have come to his defense, arguing that the use of AI in music is not necessarily wrong and could instead represent the evolution of gospel artistry in the digital age.
“Even if he’s using AI, the message is still about God. What matters is the anointing and the impact, not how the sound was made,” a supporter wrote. As technology continues to reshape the music industry globally, Zambia’s gospel space may now be entering its own AI revolution and Prophet DM Siame could be at the center of that conversation.
Fans are now eagerly waiting for the artist’s official statement, or better yet, a live performance to put all speculation to rest.
