Nigerian music sensation, 0ludipe Oluwasanmi David, widely known as Spyro has recently opened up about his relationship with religion.
Spyro spoke about his upbringing and how he grew up in the Mushin area of Lagos, detailing his experience as a pastor’s son and how he developed hatred for God because of his father.
Speaking as a guest on the latest episode of the Tea with Tay Podcast, the ‘Who is your Guy’ hitmaker, revealed that he had a very strict father who went hard on him and his siblings anytime they went astray.
”My father was quite strict and he’s a pastor so you know the way pastors are with their kids. They’re really strict because they have this ideology that their children are the ones that……. ”after which Taymesan chimed in saying, “Na we dey spoil pass,” and Spyro nodded in agreement.
While his father, a pastor, instilled strict values, the renowned crooner admitted that the pressure was intense, leading to a dislike for religion during his early years.
“The pressure is not good, I must say. But I didn’t even know God through my dad, even though I was right in front of the Bible. Every morning we’d wake up to the Bible, I was forced to do it so I didn’t know who God was. In fact, my dad made me hate God, the personality of God,” he added
The singer who doubles as a songwriter further revealed that the daily routine of waking up before dawn for fellowship and being constantly surrounded by the Bible created a negative perception of religion. Despite growing up in a religious environment, he emphasized that he found us come to enjoy religion on his own terms, separate from his father’s ministry.
