During his time as a dedicated church member, Rex Omar said he had sought financial assistance from the church to support his budding music career. According to the musician, he had a vision for a record that he believed had great potential, and he approached his pastor with a request to present his case to the church board for funding. The aim was to invest in the recording that would later turn out to be a major success.

He mentioned that, unfortunately, the church declined to provide the needed funds for his recording project. He said this refusal marked a turning point for him.

He recounted the moment when he received the news from his pastor that the church board had rejected his funding request. He said it was this incident that led him to make the decision to discontinue his regular church attendance. Rex is not the first musician to stop attending church.

Undeterred by this setback, Rex Omar said he ventured outside the church community and secured financial support from someone outside his religious circle. According to him, this investment proved to be a pivotal moment in his career, as the resulting recording became a hit.

Rex Omar emphasised that his decision to stop attending church did not indicate a severed connection with his spirituality. He clarified that he maintains a strong and personal relationship with his faith and his maker, even if he no longer attends church services.
