Sola Allyson, a well-known gospel singer, responded to criticism on social media for failing to include the word “Jesus” in any of her songs.
Allyson was called out after singer Panam Percy Paul’s recent interview.
DAILY POST reports that Percy Paul had narrated how he was offered £24 million in 1995 to remove “Jesus” from his songs.
Sharing the interview on X, a user @Folahanayo1 in a series of posts wrote, “Sola Allyson @thesolaallyson cannot relate. A whole album and not a single mention of Jesus.
“Here is your 2019 album, IRI. 8 tracks and a runtime of 48 minutes. Throughout the entire album, the name ‘Jesus’ is not mentioned once. (Correct me if I’m mistaken). Not even in Track 8, where you talked about who you “Gbekele.”
The personal attack is really below you, though.”
Reacting to the backlash, Sola Allyson, in a video on X, questioned the motives of her critics.
While stating that she doesn’t want to be associated with their own “Jesus”, she argued that her music is rooted in her own faith and values.
“Why are you people this callous and unkind? Is it until I commit suicide? If this is what you are doing with your own Jesus, I do not want to be identified with you lots!
“Once again, no one can bully me into joining their darkness that looks like light because indolent souls find comfort in it.
I do NOT seek to be with your kind of Jesus. Leave me alone and face your own journey.”
