Shola Allyson has set the record straight about her music, stressing that she does not identify as a gospel singer but simply as an artist inspired by her personal beliefs.
In a conversation with Oyinmomo TV, she explained, “I’m not a religious singer… My name is Shola Allyson. I’m a singer.” She further addressed critics who expect her songs to explicitly mention Jesus, clarifying that her music is not intended as a public declaration of faith.
“Jesus didn’t instruct us to mention His name in songs, nor did He ask us to do PR for Him,” she said.
Allyson also opened up about her personal life, revealing that her marriage has been far from easy. Though legally married to Toyin Obaniyi since 2003, the couple lives separately and shares three children.
“Marriage has been a big challenge. I hear people talk about joy in marriage, but I have never experienced it,” she admitted. “I can do anything for a man as long as he does not maltreat me.
