Timi Dakolo Fires Back at Pastor Femi Lazarus with ‘Evidence’ of Paid Ministry Fees

Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has clapped back at Pastor Femi Lazarus after the cleric criticized gospel artists for charging fees to perform in churches.

The controversy began when Pastor Lazarus shared a screenshot of an invoice showing a gospel singer requesting $10,000 for a church ministration. He expressed disappointment, arguing that ministry should not be commercialized.

In response, Dakolo called out the hypocrisy of such statements by sharing "evidence" that Pastor Lazarus himself charges fees for his School of Ministry program. Dakolo questioned why it was acceptable for pastors to charge for teachings and ministry-related activities
