Music Legend, King Sunny Ade says he sees himself as a son of God and
not a man of God as most people think he is!
In a recent interview with TRIBUNE, he said “You can’t just call
yourself a man of God. There must be a very strong covenant between you and God
before you can claim that you are a man of God. I don’t see myself like that,
but if people call me a man of God, it means I have to be very careful because
I have not heard from God. All I know is that I am a son of God, not yet a man
of God.
I
have always been a spiritual person and I have been surviving as a spiritual
person since I was born.”
On his relationship with God, he said “There is a touch of
spirituality about my existence that I can’t even explain, even as I speak with
you now, I still can’t explain it. The fact is that I don’t even know how I
have been surviving till now. I didn’t study music, nobody taught me music.
Nobody taught me how to play the guitar. But I know it has been God all along.
Nothing else could have sustained me till now and surely no one
has, except God. I think people are still looking at me with the impression
they had in those days when I was still looking for fame. Those days, I sang
all sorts of songs because I wanted to be famous, especially in Ondo town where
they worship Ogun. Every year, we worshipped Ogun in Ondo those days, so I
thought that if I sang Ogun songs, people would accept me; buy my album. But it
does not mean that I am worshipping Ogun or anything.”
