Popular Nigerian singer, Sola Allyson, has clarified that she is a singer and not a gospel artist, as widely believed, while also addressing her marital arrangement.

The ‘Eji Owuro’ crooner stated this during an interview with Oyinmomo TV posted on YouTube on Friday.

Allyson explained that she had never called herself a gospel artist and did not mention Jesus in her songs because He did not request publicity.

Code-switching between English and Yoruba, she said, “I don’t sing religious songs. As I am like this, I don’t call myself a gospel artist. My name is Sola Allyson. I am a singer.”

Responding to a question about whether she mentions Jesus in her songs, she stated, “Jesus didn’t say we should be mentioning His name. He didn’t say we should use His name for PR.”

The 54-year-old also addressed her marital status, revealing that while she is married, she does not live with her husband.

She said, “I am married but not living with my husband. He stays in his house and I also stay in my house. That’s the love that people older than us didn’t let us know is hard. They make it seem like once you love each other, you will live happily ever after.”

Allyson further explained her concept of marriage, emphasising that she and her partner married each other, rather than her husband marrying her.

“Saying I am in my husband’s house is different from saying I married my husband. My husband and I married each other; we are in one another’s life.

“Saying I am in my husband’s house gives men a sense of ownership. I am not doing competition with anyone.

“Feminism is not saying men are not good people. What feminism is, before anger came into it because of how women were treated, was that the choice that men have to do whatever they wish should also be given to women,” she added.
