Popular gospel singer Sola Allyson and actor Lateef Adedimeji have become topics of discussion among Nigerian Christians and Muslims on X, formerly Twitter.

Recall that Sola, who organised a music concert to celebrate her birthday, while addressing the guests at the event, reaffirmed her connection with Lateef, despite their different religious backgrounds.

Sola, who invited Lateef to join her on stage, argued that their creative bond transcends religious differences. According to the singer, Lateef was her brother, and religion cannot separate them, as they are children of God.

Lateef, who reciprocated, stressed that God is a formless entity.

“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 speak to me. God is a formless entity,” he said.

Recall that Sola Allyson and Lateef Adedimeji made headlines in 2022 over their joint performance on stage.

While some Christian netizens berated Sola, claiming she was not a gospel singer, Muslims, on the other hand, advised Lateef to retrace his steps.

A Muslim identified as Danaliagan in a message to Lateef wrote,

"Anyone who knows Lateef should speak to him. He needs to retake the Shahadah, unlearn certain misguidances, learn the proper aqeedah and tawhid."

"I love the fact that the Dragging is evenly balanced. Muslims are dragging Lateef deservedly, Christians are doing the same to Aunty Sola. 50/50 no cheating."

"First of all, Sola Allyson has said it herself that she is not a gospel artist or a gospel singer or a gospel minister She said she’s just a singer. So I don’t understand the online outburst because of this video. And this is not even a Christian concert; it’s just a concert."

KingdmHeritage reacted:

"I'd say I'm disappointed, but nah, I'm past that point. Sola Allyson is not a minister, no music minister will do this nonsense. she's just a talented artiste that likes singing about a God she doesn't know. Meanwhile shame wear me agbada for the rest of them in this video."

"Lateef Adedimeji and Shola Allyson are both Yoruba, one a Christian and the other a Muslim, from the Southwest. Yet you are still trying to incite religious differences, which is very unnecessary. Are you people cursed with putting your nose in other people’s affairs?"
