Reekado Banks fires back after critic mocks him for attending church

Reekado Banks Fires Back at Troll Who Mocked Him for Attending Church

Nigerian singer Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, widely known by his stage name Reekado Banks, has made headlines after clapping back at a social media troll who mocked him for attending a church service.

The incident began when content creator Kesari revealed on Instagram that he was contemplating drawing closer to God but was undecided between Christianity and Islam. In a show of support, Reekado Banks invited him to attend his church. Their joint appearance soon went viral, with videos of the two worshipping together sparking widespread reactions from fans.

While many applauded the artist for openly expressing his faith and guiding a friend in his spiritual journey, one critic left a scathing comment that read:

“When they fail at music, they start going to church.”

The remark appeared to strike a nerve with the former Mavin Records star. Taking to his own social media page, Reekado Banks released a video venting his frustration:

“Fk that na whose comment I saw that made me feel down today. My friend called me and told me to delete it. F**k you!”

His response has since ignited debate online, with fans and commentators divided. Some defended the singer, praising him for standing firm in his faith and refusing to be shamed for his choices. Others, however, questioned the harshness of his reply, suggesting he could have addressed the situation more calmly.

For Reekado Banks, who has enjoyed both mainstream success and challenges in his music career, the incident highlights the increasing scrutiny artists face when they share personal aspects of their lives online—particularly when it comes to matters of faith.
