Following the controversy surrounding his performance at the Harvesters International Gospel Center’s Christmas carol service in Lagos State, Nigerian singer Oludipe David, fondly called Spyro, has defended his performance.
The singer faced criticisms for performing his hit song “Only Fine Girl” during a drama presentation at the church’s event.
In response to the backlash, Spyro took to his X account to clarify the situation, stating that despite being a celebrity, he has the right to serve God.
“Because I am a celebrity, doesn’t make me human?? I can serve God like the rest of you naw. I’ve been a member of Harvesters for well over 7 years, and I serve in two departments.”
The ‘Who is your guy’ crooner explained that the video circulating on social media captured a segment of a drama presentation he participated in at the church’s annual carol service called Fantasia.
“The clip making rounds on social media is off a drama I took part of at our annual carol service called Fantasia.”
