Afrobeat artist Olakira, known for his hit song "Masarati," has made a candid admission about his past, revealing that he faced expulsion from a church due to being involved intimately with four choristers.
The 32-year-old music producer revealed this during an interview with TVC while recounting how he transitioned from a gospel singer into secular music.
Olakira added that he had to go in for therapy after the expulsion because he got depressed. He said;
“I had my own issues as well. I got depressed at some point. I was unable to focus at some point. Everybody has their own thing. I was a gospel artiste some years back. And I had some experience with ladies. I was in the choir and I had stuff with about four choristers and I was sacked from the church.
“You know when you sing in church and you are playing keyboard people get inspired. And, when I came into the secular world, the whole thing was just crowded. It was a lot. I went for therapy. I needed to get out of that space because it was very distracting.
“I was raised by a single mother. So, I feel more comfortable around ladies than guys.”
