Netizens on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) are buzzing with reactions following a viral video showcasing Spyro’s recent performance of his song “Only Fine Girl” at the popular Harvesters Church on the island branch.
The video captures Spyro on stage in what seems to be a theatrical costume, performing his song, with the notable presence of BBN Reality TV star, Dorathy Bachor.
The performance, appearing to be a stage drama within the church, has ignited a wave of discomfort among some netizens. Critics argue that the choice of the song, known for its contemporary and secular nature, is not suitable for a church setting. The focus of their criticism is reportedly directed towards Pastor Bolaji, raising questions about the disciplinary ethics maintained within a church as renowned as Harvesters.
Is this proper to sing in a church? I like Pastor B o but I don’t know what to say about this. pic.twitter.com/8kB1gjBra7

Amidst the controversy, defenders of Spyro’s performance have emerged in the comment section, contending that the artist’s rendition and the choice of the song were well-suited for the context of a musical drama within the church. They argue that artistic expression should be allowed and appreciated within the bounds of creative performances.
Concurrently, a segment of the online community is advocating for a nuanced understanding of the video’s context, attempting to bridge the gap between those criticizing Spyro and the church and those defending the performance.
