Sola Allyson, Lateef Adedimeji Reaffirm Friendship Beyond Religious Differences
Nigerian gospel singer Sola Allyson has reiterated that her friendship and creative partnership with popular actor Lateef Adedimeji remain unshaken despite their differing religious backgrounds.
The singer made the remarks during her recent Lagos concert, a moment captured in a video shared by Adedimeji on Instagram on Thursday. In the clip, Allyson invited the actor on stage, where they performed together to the delight of the audience.
Addressing the crowd, Allyson emphasized that creativity transcends faith:
“Lateef is a creative, I am a creative; religion can’t separate us. Lateef is a child of God, I am a child of God. We see our Father differently, but Lateef is my brother. So you can do with that whatever you like,” she said.
Adedimeji echoed her sentiments, praising Allyson’s music and its spiritual depth. “Listening to BBO and Aunty Sola’s songs doesn’t make me less of a Muslim; your songs speak to me just like a Muslim song would. God is a formless entity,” he noted.
Their performance received loud applause from concertgoers, who embraced the duo’s unity and energy on stage.
This is not the first time Allyson and Adedimeji have faced public scrutiny over their collaborations. In 2022, their joint performance stirred debate due to their religious differences. However, both artistes have consistently maintained that religion should not hinder friendship or creative synergy.
Adedimeji and his wife have also previously featured in Allyson’s music video “Ife A Dale,” further showcasing their strong artistic bond.
