Nigerian singer and songwriter, Johnny Drille has opened up about his relationship with the church and how his music has grown beyond traditional Christian boundaries.

Speaking in a recent episode of the CreativiTEA podcast, the singer said while his faith in God remains strong, he has never felt that his music entirely fits within the structure of church ministry.

“I love God and I’m very much involved in church, but I never really felt my music was for church. Sometimes I get invited to perform in church, which is quite interesting.”

The Mavin Records artist also addressed the criticism he occasionally faces from some members of the Christian community for performing in church settings.

He explained that although his songs are not strictly gospel, they promote positivity and meaningful values.

“Ive gotten some backlash from the Christian community whenever I perform in churches. But the truth is my music spreads positivity. It touches the issues the church tries to avoid.” He noted.

Johnny Drille, known for his heartfelt lyrics and soulful love songs, further argued that the church often neglects conversations about love, a subject theme he believes is both important and spiritual.

“The church shies away from talking about love. You go to Christian weddings you hear Davido and Wizkid song. What if the church decides that we want to start doing their own Christian love songs.”
