During a recent sermon, Bassey emphasized that when he is invited to minister, he is serving God and His people, and therefore cannot charge for his services. Bassey’s statement comes on the heels of Apostle Lazarus’ criticism of gospel artists who demand fees for performances at church events. The pastor’s comments sparked a heated debate within the gospel community, with some defending the practice of paying gospel artists and others arguing that ministry should not be commercialized. Singer Timi Dakolo also weighed in on the issue, emphasizing the financial investments required to sustain a music career. Dakolo argued that Christians should recognize that music is both a spiritual calling and a profession that deserves compensation. The debate highlights the complexities of navigating the intersection of faith, art, and commerce. As the discussion continues, one thing is clear: the role of gospel ministers and artists in the church will remain a topic of interest and debate.
