Popular afrobeats musician Oludipe Oluwasanmi David widely known as Spyro has
asserted that there are difficulties in openly evangelizing in Nigeria's music scene.

The singer spoke about a personal experience he had with well-known R&B singer who is now a man of God during a recent interview with Echo Room.

Spyro claimed that Banky W's issues in the music business started when he openly professed his faith in Christ.

Being a "Jesus boy," according to Spyro, has caused him to lose the friendship and support of others in the music industry.

He 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,” 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.”
