Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Oluwasanmi David Oludipe, best known as Spyro, has opened up on the challenges that come with proclaiming Jesus in the Nigerian music industry.

The 'Who is your guy' crooner stressed that popular Nigerian singer turned pastor, Banky W already narrated his ordeal with proclaiming Christ in the music industry. According to Spyro, Banky W made him know that he was a bad boy initially and everything was going on smoothly, until the day he decided to change and proclaim Jesus, and all hell broke loose.

Speaking during a recent chat with Echo Room, Spyro stated that he is now facing the challenges Banky W faced because he has proclaimed Jesus. According to him, he does not get enough publicity by blogs because of his stance, while those who are not up to.him are being pushed by blogs.

Spyro said:
"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.

“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.”
