Pita Reveals The Untold Story Behind ‘Jesus Did It’ Featuring Nathaniel Bassey
Pita Reveals The Untold Story Behind ‘Jesus Did It’ Featuring Nathaniel Bassey. Nigerian gospel singer and songwriter Pita has officially released his long-awaited single, Jesus Did It, featuring renowned worship leader Pastor Nathaniel Bassey.
To celebrate the release, the singer shared a deeply personal message on social media, taking fans behind the scenes of a journey that spans nearly two decades of friendships, faith, and unforgettable musical collaborations.
Describing the moment as an opportunity to “open the vault,” Pita revealed that many of the people who played significant roles in his musical journey have remained largely unknown to the public.
“Over the years, God has given me the privilege of writing, recording and creating music with some incredible people,” he wrote. “Funny enough… many of you probably don’t even know about some of these collaborations. So I thought I’d open the vault.”
At the heart of his message was Pastor Nathaniel Bassey, whom Pita credited as one of the people who stood by him during seasons of uncertainty while he was still finding his footing in ministry and music.
The heartfelt tribute also highlighted several respected names in the gospel industry who helped shape Jesus Did It in different ways.
Pita thanked Moses Bliss for standing firmly by his side during difficult moments and continually encouraging him until the song finally became a reality.
Mercy Chinwo was affectionately described as a lifelong sister and a genuine gem whose infectious laughter brought joy to recording sessions.
He also paid tribute to Victor Thompson and his wife, recalling how their generosity extended far beyond hospitality. According to Pita, the couple welcomed him into their home during his travels across three continents, with one memorable late-night generator session helping keep the project alive.
Ryan Ofei received warm appreciation as a brother whose musical connection with Pita has continued to flourish over the years, while Nosa was praised for believing in the song from the very first listen. Pita also expressed excitement about the possibility of performing it alongside him in the future.
One of the most emotional moments in the reflection was reserved for Olufunmi, whom Pita thanked for making a remarkable sacrifice 17 years ago to help record the track.
“I will never forget that sacrifice… I love you aunty,” he wrote.
Producer Flo Rock was celebrated for his exceptional work on the record and for unexpectedly bringing Mike Abdul and James Omokwe into the creative process.
Pita also acknowledged comedian and creative minister EmmaOhMaGod, calling him one of his three favourite people throughout his ministry journey because of his unwavering kindness and support.
Spaceshipboi earned praise for the talent and spirit he brought to the production, while music collective 121 Selah, led by Pita’s younger brother PD Wallson, was recognised as family. He also shared a light-hearted tribute to Adura, joking that he decided they would become friends the moment he heard her sing.
The message paints a vivid picture of a song that was shaped through years of perseverance, countless relationships, and God’s faithfulness. More than simply announcing a new release, Pita used the occasion to honour the people who stood beside him through every stage of the journey.
With Nathaniel Bassey’s worship influence joining Pita’s heartfelt songwriting, Jesus Did It is already generating excitement among gospel music lovers. Early reactions suggest the collaboration has all the ingredients to become a favourite on worship playlists across Nigeria and beyond.
Rather than placing the spotlight solely on himself, Pita chose to celebrate the community that helped bring the song to life. His reflections serve as a reminder that behind many powerful testimonies are faithful friends, mentors, family members, and fellow ministers who quietly invest in the journey long before the world hears the final song.
