Majek Fashek, Nigeria’s Reggae musician, has called out
controversial On Air Personality (OAP), Ifedayo Olarinde a.k.a Daddy
Freeze for his strong disapproval of his recent performance at a church
concert in Abuja.
Majek the ‘Rainmaker’, who before now had not performed at faith
based events, did on Sunday December 17, at the Common Wealth Of Zion
Assembly (COZA) Christmas Carol in Guzape, Abuja.
Freeze, who also recently condemned the practice of ‘Tithing’ in
churches said it made no sense for a secular artiste like Majek to
perform in such gathering as Christian altars are supposed to be sacred.
However, Majek Fashek’s manager, Uzoma Omenka, in a video on
Instagram, rebuked Freeze saying that nothing was wrong with a secular
artiste performing in church.
“There is nothing wrong with a world class legend Majek Fashek whose
music sends the right message to be invited to perform in any church.
“To Daddy Freeze, you need to do your research properly before wagging your mouth and speaking like a Kid,” he said.
“@biodunfatoyinbo thank you once more for impacting positively
into the lives of Young Nigerians and making them believe in
themselves.”
Freeze had taken to his Instagram to condemn the rainmaker crooner over the concert saying: “I am still searching for the sense in this. I am a huge Majek fan, but do I want to see him perform in a church.
“How did we get here? Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought Christian altars are supposed to be sacrosanct…..
“Have you ever seen an artiste like Majek perform in a Buddhist or Hindu temple?
“Can Majek perform inside the `Okija’ shrine? or the `soppona’ or `ayelala’ shrine?
“If other religions value their altars and keep them sacred, is it out of place to suggest we do the same?”
