Christian Community Criticize Me For Performing In Churches – Johnny Drille

Nigerian singer cum songwriter, Johnny Drille has called out the Christian community.

This is as he lamented that they criticize him for performing in churches.

The Mavin Records artist stated this in a recent episode of the CreativiTEA podcast.
He also noted that his music has grown beyond traditional Christian boundaries.
He said, “I love God and I’m very much involved in church, but I never really felt my music was for church. Sometimes I get invited to perform in church, which is quite interesting.
 
“I’ve gotten some backlash from the Christian community whenever I perform in churches. But the truth is my music spreads positivity. It touches the issues the church tries to avoid.” 
The singer further argued that the church often neglects conversations about love, a subject theme he believes is both important and spiritual.
He added, “The church shies away from talking about love. You go to Christian weddings you hear Davido and Wizkid song. What if the church decides that we want to start doing their own Christian love songs.”

Why Male Celebrities Struggle To Bounce Back After Hitting A Low — Nigerian Singer, Iyanya

Nigerian singer Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, popularly known as Iyanya, has urged fans to show more empathy toward celebrities, noting that fame does not shield them from emotional challenges.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the Your Waist crooner reflected on the pressures of fame, describing the life of a celebrity as “a double-edged sword.”

“We need to understand that celebs are humans with deep feelings and struggles like everyone else.

“Beyond the media glamorisation of their lives and personalities is a human simply asking and wishing and yearning to be human like the rest of us. It is a double-edged sword,”Iyanya wrote.

He further noted that male celebrities, in particular, often face even greater internal struggles due to societal expectations that discourage vulnerability.

“For male celebrities, perhaps there may be an even deeper level of struggle to come back up when one has hit a low — because men are wired to be stoic, not show vulnerability, not ask for help or they’d be considered weak,” he added.
