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
accrpt me; buy my album. But it does not mean that I am worshipping Ogun
or anything. “
