Nigerian singer and songwriter, Johnny Drille, has expressed disappointment over the backlash he receives from some members of the Christian community for performing in churches.
Speaking on a recent episode of the CreativiTEA Podcast, the Mavin Records artist said despite his deep connection with faith and church, many Christians still question his presence on church stages.
“I love God and I’m very much involved in church, but I never really felt my music was for church,” Johnny Drille explained. “Sometimes I get invited to perform in church, which is quite interesting. I’ve gotten some backlash from the Christian community whenever I perform in churches.
He said, “The church shies away from talking about love. You go to Christian weddings and you hear Davido and Wizkid songs. What if the church decides that we want to start doing our own Christian love songs?”
