Music journalist, Joey Akan, has berated singer Spyro, for criticizing the song lyrics of singers who do secular music.
While speaking in a recent podcast, Spyro criticised singer Shallipopi for lyrics to his songs.
According to Spyro, Shallipopi puts out lyrics that make people internalize fraud. Read here.
He made the statement while stressing the importance of putting out songs with lyrics that are impactful.
Reacting to Spyro’s comment, Joey via his X handle, pointed that Spyro makes his money using secular artistes and operating in a secular industry but keeps debasing his colleagues while promoting Jesus.
Describing Spyro’s actions as Hypocrisy, Joey wrote;
‘’This boy Spyro received his biggest ever song by working with worldly-adjacent artists. He chose Tiwa Savage for a collaboration over his faith-based colleagues.
Chioma Jesus and Dunsin Onyekan lost out on “who’s your guy,” remix.
He’s also signed to a worldly label, performs at worldly events, including an upcoming activation for Trophy, an alcoholic brand that caters to nightlife and winebibers.
But he never fails to ceaselessly attack his colleagues, their professional output, and their themes of escapism and realism. Add that to a collaboration with DJ Neptune and Iyanya, two ‘worldly’ music stalwarts.
He also will not grace his gospel podcasts, but try to harness numbers from a “worldly” podcast.
Talking about how he hates the secular industry because he is “for Jesus.” While working in it, serving it, benefiting from it, and making a living out of it.
I call hyprocrisy. Promoting Jesus, but dining in the lucrative altars of mammon.”
