I Was Expelled From Church Choir Because I Was Involved With Four Female Members – Olakira

Popular Nigerian singer, Ade Ebenezer aka Olakira, has narrated how his entanglement with four female choristers led to his expulsion from the choir.

He explained that the experience affected him even after he became a secular artist.

Olakira stated that he had to undertake a therapy session last year to clear his head.

The ‘Maserati’ crooner said this during a recent interview on TVC’s programme, Wake Up Nigeria.

Asked why he “disappeared” for almost three years after releasing his hit song ‘Maserati’, ” Olakira said, “I had my own issues as well. I got depressed at some point. I was unable to focus at some point

“I was a gospel artist some years back. And I had some experience with ladies. I was in a choir and I had stuff with about four choristers and I was sacked from the church.

“And, when I came into the secular world, the whole thing was just crowded. It was a lot. I actually travelled for a bit to calm down. I took a therapy. I need to get out of that space because it is very distracting.

“I was raised by a single mother. So, I feel more comfortable around ladies than guys.”
