BANKY W TOLD ME THAT PROCLAIMING CHRIST AFFECTED HIS CAREER – SPYRO
Read Time:1 Minute, 21 Second
Afrobeats artist Spyro has stated that openly professing faith in Jesus Christ within the Nigerian music industry comes with its difficulties.
In a recent conversation on Echo Room, Spyro shared a personal story from popular R&B singer-turned-pastor Banky W, who explained his own challenges.
Spyro revealed that Banky W told him that his struggles in the music industry began after he publicly declared his faith in Christ.
Spyro stated that being a “Jesus boy” has led people to deny him goodwill and support in the music industry.
“My biggest challenge in the music industry right now is discrimination. I came out with the ‘Jesus boy’ brand and I’ve received the biggest criticisms,” he said.
“If you want to be truthful to yourself, how many media moguls support or post me when I drop songs? You see them posting other artists but outside from the blogs that I paid to post me, how many media moguls post me?
“Do you see these guys post me? Sometimes, I ask myself why because people who are not doing as well as I am, they post them. The answer is simple; once you come out and declare Christ publicly, you enter a war.
“It’s like the whole system is designed to pull you down. Banky W told me that his problem started in the industry the moment he proclaimed Christ.
“He told me to be sure that I am ready for this. He said when he was a ‘bad boy’, everything was going well but immediately he decided to do it in godly way, war started.”
