Gospel singer, Theophilus Sunday responds to backlash over wife’s beauty

Nigerian gospel singer Theophilus Sunday has addressed the controversy surrounding his marriage to Ashley, a stunning foreign realtor, after fans expressed disappointment over what they saw as a contradiction to the message of his hit song, “No Glory in This World.”

The gospel artiste’s choice of a beautiful, glamorous wife surprised many of his fans, who had expected a more modest partner in line with the song’s lyrics, which emphasize the transient nature of worldly pursuits and glory. Theophilus’s marriage sparked a flood of comments on social media, with some questioning how his personal choice aligned with the message of humility and selflessness conveyed in his music.

In an interview, Theophilus responded directly to the backlash, clarifying the intent behind his popular song. “I never said ‘No beauty in this world,’ I said ‘No glory in this world,’ and I still stand by that,” he explained, emphasizing that his message wasn’t a critique of physical beauty but a call to focus on eternal, spiritual values over fleeting earthly glory.

He further shared his personal joy, stating, “When you marry the right person, you’ll only wish you had done so sooner—just like I do.”
