Singer Chike has opened up about a personal moment that shaped his relationship with church and faith. Recalling a period from years ago, he explained that attending a particular church became uncomfortable after he ran into someone from his past.
According to him, “the chick that was leading the praise and worship, we had history. And I couldn’t… I’m like… I was having flashbacks. And she was kabashing, and I’m like… who’s that.” He said the encounter left him feeling out of place, adding that he stayed only a week before leaving.
Chike emphasized that his decision wasn’t about rejecting Christianity. “Not because I don’t believe in God, because I do,” he said. He recalled a moment early in his career when he prayed for guidance while living in Primewater Gardens with his then-girlfriend. “I just said a prayer. I just said, God, I don’t have anybody. I don’t have anything. Just help me.”
He also spoke about accidentally consuming a strong edible shortly after releasing his first album. “Three, four days into the release of my album, I didn’t even know where I was. You know, but that was it.”
For Chike, the structure of church simply doesn’t align with his lifestyle. “So I don’t… Church is not for me. There are things that I like, that I would not be able to do,” he explained, adding that what matters most whether in public life or leadership is doing right by others. “You just need to do right. By the people. By the people. By the people. Not necessarily leave a certain… Look, since I’m Christian, not certainly live a Christian life …”
