Popular Nigerian gospel artist, Sola Allyson, has addressed criticism on social media regarding the absence of the name “Jesus” in her songs. The controversy emerged following an interview with veteran gospel singer Panam Percy Paul. The Controversy Surrounding Sola Allyson’s Music A social media user, @Folahanayo1, reignited the discussion after sharing a clip from Panam Percy Paul’s recent interview. During the interview, Percy Paul revealed that he was once offered £24 million in 1995 to remove the name “Jesus” from his music. Following this revelation, @Folahanayo1 scrutinized Allyson’s 2019 album, IRI, highlighting that none of the eight tracks, spanning a total runtime of 48 minutes, mentioned “Jesus.” The user wrote: “Sola Allyson @thesolaallyson cannot relate. A whole album and not a single mention of Jesus. Here is your 2019 album, IRI. 8 tracks and a runtime of 48 minutes. Throughout the entire album, the name ‘Jesus’ is not mentioned once. (correct me if I’m mistaken). Not even in Track 8 where you talked about who you ‘Gbekele’. The personal attack is really below you, though.” Sola Allyson’s Response to the Criticism Reacting to the backlash, Allyson took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to question the intent behind the criticism. In a video response, she firmly defended her artistic expression and faith, stating: “Why are you people this callous and unkind? Is it until I commit suicide? If this is what you are with your own Jesus, I do not want to be identified with you lots! Once again, no one can bully me into joining their darkness that looks like light because indolent souls find comfort in it. I do NOT seek to be with your kind of Jesus. Leave me alone and face your own journey.” The Debate on Gospel Music and Artistic Expression This situation has sparked discussions within the gospel music community regarding whether mentioning “Jesus” explicitly is a defining factor of gospel music. Some argue that faith-based music should be personal and reflective of the artist’s beliefs, while others believe that the name of Jesus must be openly declared in gospel songs.
