Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has criticized Pastor Femi Lazarus after the clergyman claimed that a gospel artiste sent a church an invoice requesting $10,000 for a ministration.

According to Lazarus, the artiste mentioned in the invoice that they would be coming with a 40-man crew and expected an honorarium of $10,000. The pastor shared this claim during a recent sermon.

Timi Dakolo, who has previously disagreed with Femi Lazarus on his views about gospel artistes in Nigeria, responded by demanding that the pastor reveal the name of the artiste to support his claim. He also warned Nigerians not to believe such statements without proof.

This exchange has sparked conversations online, with many people debating whether gospel artistes should charge for their services and if such claims should be backed by evidence.
