🎶 Johnny Drille Responds to Criticism Over Church Performances

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Johnny Drille, has opened up about facing criticism from some Christians for performing in churches.

In a recent episode of the CreativiTEA podcast, the Mavin Records artist explained that while his songs aren’t strictly gospel, they promote positivity, love, and meaningful values.

“I love God and I’m very much involved in church,” he said. “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 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.”

Johnny Drille also noted that many churches tend to avoid conversations about love, even though it’s a deeply spiritual topic.

“The church shies away from talking about love,” he added. “You go to Christian weddings and hear Davido or Wizkid songs. What if the church decides to start creating its own Christian love songs?”

The soulful artist’s comments have sparked conversations online about faith, creativity, and the role of love songs in Christian spaces.
