I didn’t know God through my dad even though he was a pastor – singer Spyro

Nigerian musician, Spyro opens up about his childhood and reveals how he didn’t find God growing up even though his father was a pastor.

The singer made this revelation while appearing as a guest on the latest episode of the Tea with Tay Podcast, where he spoke to Emmanuel Taymesan, the host of the show about his upbringing, growing up in the Mushin area of Lagos. He shared his experience as a pastor’s son, stressing that at the time he “hated God” because of his father.

“My father was quite strict and he’s a pastor so you know the way pastors are with their kids. They’re really strict because they have this ideology that their children are the ones that…” after which Taymesan chimed in saying, “Na we dey spoil pass,” and Spyro nodded in agreement.

He noted that while father, who is a pastor tried to instill strict values, Sypro admitted that there was alot of pressure and tension, leading to a dislike for religion during his growing up.

“The pressure is not good, I must say. But I didn’t even know God through my dad, even though I was right in front of the Bible. Every morning we’d wake up to the Bible, I was forced to do it so I didn’t know who God was. In fact, my dad made me hate God, the personality of God,” he added.
