Popular gospel singer, Sola Allyson, has responded after being criticized on social media for not mentioning “Jesus” in all her songs. The backlash came following an interview with singer Panam Percy Paul, in which he shared a story about being offered £24 million in 1995 to remove “Jesus” from his music.
The criticism aimed at Allyson stemmed from the comparison, with some people questioning why she doesn’t always include direct references to “Jesus” in her songs.
Allyson, known for her unique blend of gospel and soul music, has yet to release a formal statement addressing the issue, but her response has sparked a wider conversation about artistic freedom and the role of faith in music.
Sharing the interview on X, an user @Folahanayo1 in a series of posts wrote: “Sola Allyson @thesolaallyson cannot relate. A whole Album and not a single mention of Jesus.
“Here is your 2019 album, IRI. 8 tracks and a runtime of 48 minutes. Throughout the entire album, the name ‘Jesus’ is not mentioned once. (correct me if I’m mistaken). Not even in Track 8 where you talked about who you “Gbekele”.
The personal attack is really below you, though.”
Reacting to the backslash, Sola Allyson in a video on X, questioned the motives of her critics.
While stating that she doesn’t want to be associated with their own “Jesus”, she argued that her music is rooted in her own faith and values.
“Why are you people this callous and unkind? Is it until I commit suicide? If this is what you are with your own Jesus, I do not want to be identified with you lots!
“Once again, no one can bully me into joining their darkness that looks like light because indolent souls find comfort in it.
I do NOT seek to be with your kind of Jesus. Leave me alone and face your own journey.”
