Allyson, best known for her hit song Eji Owuro, emphasized that she has never labeled herself a gospel musician and does not mention Jesus in her songs because, in her words, “He didn’t ask for publicity.
Code-switching between English and Yoruba, she explained, “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 sin is theger.”
Responding to questions about her references to Jesus in music, she added, “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 arrangement, revealing that while she is married, she does not cohabit with her husband. She stated, “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 shared her views on marriage, stressing mutual partnership rather than traditional ownership. “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,” she said.
On feminism, she added, “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.”
Sola Allyson’s candid remarks offer a refreshing perspective on music, faith, and modern relationships, highlighting her personal philosophy and independence.
