Johnny Drille, a Nigerian singer and songwriter, expressed his disappointment over the backlash he receives from some members of the Christian community for performing in churches. In a recent interview on the CreativiTEA Podcast, Drille stated that despite his deep connection with faith and church, many Christians still question his presence on church stages.
Drille explained that he loves God and is actively involved in church, but he never felt his music was specifically for church. He revealed that he occasionally receives invitations to perform in churches, which he finds interesting. However, he has faced criticism from the Christian community for doing so.
Drille pointed out the inconsistency in the church’s approach to music, noting that Christian weddings often feature secular music. He wondered what would happen if the church decided to create its own Christian love songs, suggesting that this could be a more effective way to promote meaningful music.
