Stefflon Don: Why I stopped going to church

Stephanie Allen, the British rapper better known as Stefflon Don, says she has stopped going to church because “it’s all about money”.

The musician disclosed this during an interactive Twitter session with her fans on Saturday.

During the session, which focused on various aspects of her life, a user asked: “Do you go to church?”

In her response, the 30-year-old said she used to but no longer attends church due to the “attention given to money and luxury.”

“I used too but now its all about money and the pastors wear better watches than me,” she replied.

The British rapper has continued to enjoy fame since she released ‘Real Ting’, her debut mixtape, in 2016.

She rose to the limelight in 2017 after the release of ‘Hurtin Me’, the hit single featuring French Montana.

The rapper is not the only celebrity who has publicly spoken about the focus on money in some churches.

Last year, Chimamanda Adichie, the renowned writer, revealed that she doesn’t attend the Catholic churches in Nigeria because activities became “way too much” about money, fundraising, and thanksgiving.

“Nigerian Catholicism is way too much about money, fundraising, and thanksgiving. Some in the east even look at who’s wearing gold. I think the focus of religion should be things Nigerian Catholicism doesn’t focus on,” she had said.
