In a praise medley, gospel singer Sola Allyson included Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji, which drew controversy.

But after receiving criticism for her worship medley performance with Muslim actor Lateef Adedimeji, she responded. Sola Allyson that she could collaborate with anyone, regardless of their religion.
Allyson released this statement in a Sunday interview with the PUNCH:
Jesus is my own perfect example. I live to uphold his essence, not religion. It’s okay to be misunderstood and not to be liked by some (people). I have been like this from the beginning; never wavering.
As a singer and a gifted one (at that), I will still collaborate with simple-hearted people like me, regardless of the religion they practice, in spreading godly values.
