Fans berate Spyro over comments

Legit.ng compiled the reactions of social media users below:

@uchenna_enoch:

"Jesus and bad things does not connect in any way, BADDIE from the word BAD, So there is nothing like Jesus Baddie because Jesus cannot be connected to bad (baddie) or baddie to Jesus...."

@amjaybee:

"Jesus and baddie cannot be in the same sentence respectfully sir."

@__chefbrownson:

"Israel talk pass you, take am easy bro and enjoy your prize"

@vechu_damasus

"No one can keep you grounded and away from temptations. It's just a temporary feeling he has for the girl that is suppressing his appetite for others. Once the honeymoon feeling towards her wanes down, he'll still go on lusting over anyone. Feelings for other don't like lust. It is walking in the Spirit that makes you not to fulfill the desires of the flesh."

@moon.chiamaka:

"Whenever he talks about God and about Love it feels very fake. There’s something off about this Spyro… but his music is good tho."
