Nigerian singer Spyro has sparked widespread conversation after opening up about the challenges he faces as a Christian artist in the music industry. Speaking in a recent interview with Frank Edoho, the “Who’s Your Guy” hitmaker boldly stated that Christians have been his “biggest problem” since his career took off. His comments have since gone viral, drawing mixed reactions online.
Spyro explained that while he proudly identifies as a “Jesus boy” and uses his platform to share his faith, the harshest criticism he receives often comes from fellow Christians rather than outsiders. He revealed that many Christians have judged him for his fashion choices, including wearing earrings, and for the way he expresses himself as a mainstream artist. According to him, he expected support from the Christian community but was surprised at how quickly some of them turned against him.
The singer further shared that people often twist his words to make him appear controversial. He noted that the moment he mentions the name of Jesus in interviews, the reaction becomes intense. Spyro said this has convinced him that the name carries great power, even if it attracts backlash. He admitted to receiving threats and facing pressure, but also emphasized that he has no plans to change who he is or abandon his faith to please critics.
Spyro’s statement has reignited conversations around how faith-based artists navigate a secular music industry. Many fans on social media have praised his courage for speaking up, while others have debated the role of personal faith in mainstream entertainment. Despite the criticism, Spyro remains one of the few Nigerian artists openly expressing his Christian faith in a bold and unapologetic way.
