A Twitter user has called out Olamide over his choice of lyrics in his song with Dj Kaywise ‘See Mary See Jesus’.
According to @EzraelAni, Olamide, who is a Muslim made a secular song with the chorus being chants of two names from the holy book of Christians, Mary and Jesus, which he says isn’t right.
Olamide chants repeatedly in the chorus of the song; “See Mary See Jesus, See Mary See Jesus, Hennessy ti wole
See Jesus, See Mary, See Jesus”
Isreal says if the tables were turned and it was a christian who made a secular song with holy names from the Quran, such singer might not go scot free.
He wrote; “So a Muslim did a secular song and used “See Mary, See Jesus” as the chorus and all ye Christians seem okay with it? Like, can a Christian try such with holy names from the Quran and go scot free? Na songs like that NBC suppose they ban, but what do i know?
“So i did my research and most of the results i got shows that Olamide is a muslim but let’s leave the argument of Olamide’s religion for another day. My Point is, i think using holy names from eiter the Bible or Quran for secular songs is wrong. Simple”
