Media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, also known as Daddy Freeze, has opened up on how he was treated by the church after his divorce.

While speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast on Tuesday, Daddy Freeze stated that the experience stopped him from attending church.

He explained that he was advised by his pastor to reconcile with his ex-wife, but after he refused, he was not allowed to participate in church events.

“I used to be church boy. Then, when I had my divorce, my pastor sat me down, sat my ex down. And after two hours of talking, they said, you guys should get back together. I said, ‘I’m not getting back to any together. I’m done’. And then when we left. They called me on a Monday, said, you are introducing pastor on Thursday at some event. I got ready, ordered costume. And then on Wednesday, they called me, said, well, baba said because of this, your controversy everywhere you should rest first. And I’m like, why? John chapter four. The woman at the well, who had had five husbands and was living with the sixth husband or with the sixth man that was not even her husband,” he said.

While explaining a passage from the Bible, Daddy Freeze spoke against the rejection he received from the church, stating that it was not Christ-like.

“So, I stopped going to church for a period. Then I moved to another church and afforded myself more time to study scripture. And the more I studied scripture, the more I went deeper and the more I started studying in original languages. You compare the text to the text of the receptors you now start seeing. So, by the time you do the work, you can’t do that work for one year,” he said.
