Reekado Banks has fired back at an online critic who dismissed him as a “failed artiste” after seeing him attend a church service.
The incident began when popular content creator Toheeb Okala, known as Kesari, shared his journey toward spiritual growth online.
Kesari revealed that he wanted to become a better person and asked his followers for advice on choosing between Christianity and Islam.
In subsequent posts, he documented his first-ever visit to a church, accompanied by the singer Reekado Banks.
Photos and videos showed the two men walking into the church, praying, and singing together.
However, in a now-viral video, Reekado Banks revealed that a comment from a user who mocked him for going to church caught his attention.
The ‘Easy’ hitmaker expressed his frustration with the post while also questioning the critic’s logic.
He further challenged the X user to suggest a better alternative than seeking God.
“Yesterday, I invited Kesari to church. And today I am seeing it everywhere on Twitter. And a comment under one of the posts was ‘when they fail at music they start to go to church’. Na your house make I come? Shey the ogunme dey your house make I subscribe?” he asked.
The singer also hurled abusive words at the critic in a follow-up video.
Born Ayodeji Solomon, Banks signed with Mavin Records in 2014. He, however, left the label four years later.
