The people that claim to be gospel ministers are just artists, in the business to make money – Spyro says
Nigerian singer Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, widely known as Spyro, has stated that many gospel artists are primarily in the music industry for financial gain.
According to him, there is little to no distinction between gospel musicians and their secular counterparts, as the pursuit of money drives both.
The self-proclaimed ‘Jesus boy’ made this remark during a recent episode of the Hip TV show Trending, hosted by Pascal.
He said, “The people that claim to be gospel artists or gospel ministers are just artists -they are in the business to make money just like us in the Afrobeats industry.”
Spyro also spoke on the pressure female artists face in the music industry.
“There is a lot of pressure on female artists to do crazy things. Tems is holding it down decently yet she is one of the biggest [female artists] in the world right now. She is decent. She has it together.
“Sometimes, I’m just like, how is she able to do this? We should put Tems out there for our young ladies to be looking up to as a role model,” he said.
