Gaise Baba Shoots for the Grammys with “No Turning Back II” Featuring Lawrence Oyor

Nigerian gospel sensation Gaise Baba has officially thrown his hat into the global music ring, submitting his soul-stirring anthem “No Turning Back II” featuring Lawrence Oyor for consideration in the Best African Music Performance category at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, set for February 1, 2026.

Breaking the exciting news on his social media, Gaise Baba called the move a step of faith—and a bold one at that. The track, a dynamic reimagining of the timeless hymn “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus,” blends rich African rhythms with deep spiritual resonance, delivering a powerful message of total surrender and unshakeable devotion to Christ.

“No Turning Back II” has already captured hearts across Nigeria and beyond, and now it’s aiming for the global stage. The track’s fusion of gospel intensity and cultural authenticity positions it as a strong contender in a category that’s gaining major recognition.

If nominated, Gaise Baba would join the ranks of Nigerian stars making waves at the Grammys. At the 67th edition in 2025, Tems clinched the Best African Music Performance award for her hit “Love Me Jeje.” Other Nigerian artists who submitted for the same category this year include Wizkid with “Piece of My Heart,” Burna Boy with “Love,” and Ayra Starr featuring Wizkid on “Gimme Dat.”

With “No Turning Back II,” Gaise Baba isn’t just representing gospel music—he’s amplifying a movement. A sound. A declaration. And perhaps, a future Grammy win.

Let the countdown begin.
