Lisa Hyper On How She’ll Conduct Herself In Dancehall As A Newly-Baptised Christian
Lisa Hyper has spoken at length on how she will conduct her affairs as a newly-baptized Christian, during an interview with radio disc jockey Nikki Z.
In responding to questions about her recent baptism, Lisa, said that while she will still be doing stage shows and recording Dancehall music, she would be tailoring her conduct to ensure she does not go astray from what her Christian faith dictates.
“Adjustments are gonna be made you know, Nikki. Suh is not like seh mi a guh come out naked an a show mi baddy an a guh cuss up di badwud dem – no. None a dem suppm deh naw guh gwaan,” she explained during the interview on The Crossover show on The Bridge 99FM.
When asked to explain what sparked her conversion, Lisa said she had no choice but to run to God as she was under attack as there were demonic forces coming at her in the “spiritual realm”.
“I was going through a spiritual battle and I felt like I was gonna die, so I had to run to God. I had to run to him. My life was at stake and this is a serious thing. This is no joke ting; haffi run to God fi him save mi,” she said.
“There were so much of dem (demons) and it was me alone, and mi haffi tun to God fast fast fast fi him save mi… a God shoulda mi a lean pan and mi good fren dem weh mi have round mi; mi good family dem same way,” she added.
When asked where the demons came from, Lisa said she had no idea, but said that she had been grappling with the situation for 14 years.
She, however, declined to state how the demons manifest themselves, stating that she could not explain to Nikki on public radio, but could do so privately.
Asked about her designer body, which had drawn much attention over the last several months, and whether she was “gonna cover it back up”, the Sculpture artist responded in the affirmative.
“Yeah a weh mi have to do. Mi haffi just adjust… weh mi a guh do? Mi haffi do di right ting,” she explained.
In addressing the issue of Christians having concerns about her doing Dancehall music while professing Christendom, Lisa said that she was not at all concerned with the sentiments of others.
“Dat a fi dem thoughts; seven bredda, seven different mind, don’t? Me just choose fi do weh me a do and oonu a guh just understand dat. What’s understood doesn’t need to be explained,” she pointed out.
Lisa also spoke briefly on comments being made by people claiming that she was on drugs, indicating that she was unconcerned with the negative remarks, since as long as the people she loves most know the truth about her, that was all that mattered.
“Dem seh mi mad, an mi a cokehead, but mi nuh watch dat, becaw mi know mi sane. Mi naw listen to weh dem a she,” the Gaza first lady said.
“My fren dem know seh mi awrite; my family dem know seh mi nuh mad suh mo naw watch wha people a seh. Mi nuh teck coke. Mi even stop smoke weed. Mi nuh drink again; mi stop bleach… No more weed; mi nuh drink again and mi stop bleach,” she emphasized.
Among the songs on Lisa Hyper’s repertoire are Champion Bubbler, Body Fit, Pretty Butterfly, Wine for Me, Sculpture, and Bills, a collab with Gaza Kim.
In July 2020, Lisa, whose given name is Felecia Gooden had announced that she would be releasing a gospel album in 2022. However, instead of the album, it was her baptism that came several weeks ago, much to the surprise of Dancehall fans.
