Spyro Reveals How Declaring Faith in Jesus Christ Challenges Artists in the Music Industry-OXYGIST

Afrobeats sensation Spyro has opened up about the challenges he faces as a vocal advocate for Jesus Christ in Nigeria’s music industry, highlighting discrimination and a lack of support from key players.


In an interview with Echo Room, Spyro reflected on his journey as a Christian artist, sharing insights from a conversation with R&B singer-turned-pastor, Banky W, who also experienced difficulties after publicly embracing his faith.


Spyro acknowledged that branding himself as “Jesus Boy” has come with significant hurdles. “My biggest challenge in the music industry right now is discrimination,” he admitted. “Since I came out with the ‘Jesus Boy’ brand, I’ve faced intense criticism.”


He expressed disappointment over the lack of encouragement from influential media figures, accusing them of deliberately overlooking his work.


“If you’re honest with yourself, how many media moguls support or promote me when I release songs? They’re quick to post about other artists, but apart from the blogs I pay to feature me, there’s little support,” Spyro lamented.


The artist attributed this resistance to his public declaration of faith. “The moment you come out and declare Christ publicly, you enter a battle. The system seems designed to bring you down,” he explained.


Spyro reinforced his point by recounting advice from Banky W, the founder of EME Records. According to Spyro, Banky revealed that his career took a downturn after publicly declaring his Christian faith.


“Banky W told me his struggles in the industry began the moment he proclaimed Christ. He said when he lived as a ‘bad boy,’ things were smooth, but as soon as he chose to embrace a godly lifestyle, the challenges began,” Spyro shared.
