“He genuinely carries the burdens of musicians” Pastor Femi Lazarus says as he makes peace with Timi Dakolo

Pastor Femi Lazarus and gospel singer Timi Dakolo have settled their differences after weeks of disagreement. The issue began when Pastor Lazarus criticized gospel artists for charging high fees to perform in churches. In response, Dakolo pointed out that pastors also earn money from their ministries and questioned why musicians should not be paid for their talent.

However, the two have now made peace. Pastor Lazarus shared a photo of himself with Dakolo and Pastor Emmanuel Iren, confirming their reconciliation.

In his caption, Pastor Lazarus praised Dakolo as a music legend and acknowledged the struggles of musicians. He admitted that pain exists both in the pulpit and the pew but expressed hope for better structures in the future. He also emphasized the need for both church hosts and guest ministers to improve, believing that this generation will create a better future.

Their reconciliation highlights the ongoing conversation about fair compensation for gospel musicians and the need for better structures in the church music industry.
