‘I WAS DEPRESSED FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAD NO MONEY TO PAY MY BILLS OR HELP OUT AT HOME’ WILLY PAUL ON QUITTING GOSPEL INDUSTRY

Singer Willy Paul has told off his critics wondering why they hate him for no reason. In a lengthy post, the singer claimed his critics only wish they could have what he posses noting that he has faced all sorts of life challenges. 

Willy added that through out his life, he has been betrayed by his own family and close friends but he is still standing strong. “Ever wondered why people hate for no reason? Well the so called haters are not really haters. They just wish they had what you have. They wish they were you or even a quarter of what you’re. Don’t let nobody tell you what is wrong or right for you. Ask me about myself and I’ll tell you I’m the strongest of them all.

What have I not seen in this life? Poverty, good life, beautiful women, haters? Just to mention a few. People have hated on me for no reason, but that has never stopped me from being me. I’ve been betrayed by close friends and even family but look, I’m still here standing strong,” wrote Willy. 

The singer maintained that no amount of hate will slow him down, adding that if he has persevered the hate through his career growth then he will never go down. Willy also called out people who criticised him for quitting the gospel industry saying that they are the same people who fought him when he was a gospel artiste. 

“No amount of hate can pin me to the ground. If until now I have not gone down due to criticism then I don’t think I ever will. Some of you ask me why I left the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and even call me names because I no longer praise Jesus in my songs. According to them I’m so evil and everything bad. Those are the same people that fought when I was a gospel artiste,” he added.

The singer disclosed that he left the Gospel industry as the hate from his fellow artistes and DJs was too much, adding that he was once depressed for four months. “Reasons as to why I left. Hate from my fellow artists and DJs, luck of airplay (claiming my content wasn’t Godly back then). I was the top artist but these evil people couldn’t see that. Or they just chose to ignore the reality! This people broke my heart!

They hurt me so bad, I was depressed for 4 months I kept crying in silence every single day and night. It got to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore. I had no money to pay my bills and even help out at home. Can you imagine I had the biggest songs bit I had nothing. I’m not perfect but what I went through as a gospel artist, no servant of God should go through,” he argued. 

“Since I loved music and had bigger hopes with my career I chose the other side which is where I am today, and that’s what has kept me alive and stable. I was tired of the hypocrisy in the so called Gospel industry. Plus I just wanted to be real with myself and not lie to God! God cannot be fooled so I took a chill pill and I’m now here. Same same people that didn’t want me there were the first to reach out,” he concluded.
