Popular Afropop singer, Oludipe David aka Spyro, has reacted to criticism over his appearance in a Christmas drama, Fantazia, which took place at Harvesters Church in Lagos on Sunday.
Politics Nigeria reports that netizens had taken to X (Twitter) to express their opinion over Spyro’s performance of his hit single ‘only fine girl’ during the drama.
While some questioned the alignment with Christian principles, others argued that the concept of the event was a stage play.
In a response on Monday, Spyro said he was a member of the church and was part of the choir.
“I’m a choir member in Harvesters. I wasn’t paid. Ain’t nothing wrong with me serving my God. Because I’m a celebrity should not restrict me from service. That was a drama in church,” Spyro said on Instagram.
He continued: “Fantazia is the carol service that was held yesterday and the clip posted on Twitter is the clip of the drama that we did yesterday, and I was supposed to seduce the king’s wife in the drama, which was why I sang ‘Only Fine Girl’ to her.
“So I did that and the king got pissed and asked his guide to cut my head off, which is a typical story of Herod in the Bible,” he added.
