Popularly known as BOUQUI, Bukola Folayan is amongst the crème de la crème of gospel hip hop artistes in Nigeria. She has been around the scene for many years now and has reignited her game over and over again. With the challenge that many gospel artistes face in a secular-music-infested environment, the artistes clears up on a couple of things here and tells us why she has stuck to her bible as the basis for her chosen career in music.
She speaks:
“When you are known for something you love to do and want to be known for, that is the best–I love it and I am unrepentant, unapologetic, uncompromising christaholic Jesus freak. I want people to know that and I am not apologizing for that.I represent Christ. I am not reducing the quality of vides I do, my music are on point, the Bible say it’s the spirit of excellence.
And so we exude that in whatever we do. If they call me Christian, identifying me with Christ, it is the most beautiful thing, and that is what I set out to do and what I am doing.
We set out to touch lives. We set out to change people from the wrong path they are on. To bring people into the kingdom of light. So if we get that done, we are successful.
On the other side they think success has to do with how many cars you have gotten, how many girls you can get, and that is not what we are doing. We are trying to get people to change from the bad to the good. So there is no comparism. We are people of different minds people of different interest and people of different goals.
We are not trying to do hip hop for the popularity, for the money or fame, we are trying to use the Bible to make disciples.
