Nigerian singer Oludipe David, professionally known as Spyro, has reacted to controversy surrounding his performance at the Harvesters International Gospel Centre\u2019s Christmas carol service in Lagos.<\/p>\n
Spyro had faced backlash for performing his hit song \u201cOnly Fine Girl\u201d during a drama presentation at the carol service.<\/p>\n
Responding to the criticism in a post on his official X, he clarified that he has the right to serve and worship God just like any other members despite being a celebrity.<\/p>\n
Spyro wrote, \u201cJust saw myself and Pastor Bolaji has been getting dragged because I did a drama ministration in church. Let me make something very clear.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been a member of Harvesters for over 7 years, and I serve in two departments. The video making rounds on the internet is off a drama I took part in at our annual carol service called Fantasia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Carol was completely FREE for everyone. The tickets were free. Because I\u2019m a celebrity doesn\u2019t make me human? I can serve God like the rest of you. So please understand that I\u2019m human, a Christian and I serve in a real church. Thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n
