Nigerian gospel singer Chinyere Udoma has come under public scrutiny following criticism from a Catholic priest over the lyrics of her newly released song.
The priest, in a post shared online, questioned Udoma’s choice of words in the song and expressed concern over whether the lyrics were appropriate for church settings or for children to sing.
“Dear Chinyere Udoma, I love you so much Ma’am. Please oo, that ur song ‘IHE DI GI MMA’, are you going to sing it in Church? Kids fit sing am?” he wrote.
He further questioned the singer’s lyrical approach, adding, “But wait, on a serious note, why you go sing that thing na. Why those words na?”
In the controversial song, Udoma openly references struggles with sin, singing about the flesh’s desire to engage in acts such as fornication, masturbation, homosexuality, stealing, and the resolve to resist those urges for the sake of heaven and faith in God.
The priest’s comments quickly sparked debate online, with opinions sharply divided.
