A popular Nigerian singer, Olakira, has revealed that he was sacked from church for getting intimate with four choristers.

The 32-year-old music producer said this in an interview with TVC while discussing his transition from gospel vocalist to secular musician.

According to him, he needed to go to counseling because he became depressed after being fired.

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,” he added.
