The Controversy of Charging for Gospel Ministration: Insights from Timi Dakolo’s Stance
The specific gospel artist associated with the invoice shared by Pastor Femi Lazarus has not been publicly disclosed. The invoice detailed a $10,000 honorarium, a non-refundable $5,000 deposit, first-class flight tickets, and executive hotel accommodations.
This revelation sparked a debate on whether gospel artists should charge fees for their ministrations. Singer Timi Dakolo defended the practice, highlighting the significant investments gospel artists make in their craft, including costs related to studio sessions, production, and promotion.
He emphasized that, beyond its spiritual aspect, music is also a profession that requires appropriate compensation.
