Timi Dakolo has criticized pastors who condemn gospel singers for charging performance fees at church events. He labeled these pastors hypocritical, as they also receive payment for their services. Dakolo emphasized that gospel musicians have families to support and bills to pay.
In a statement, Dakolo clarified that he is a Christian who makes music, not a gospel musician. He expressed frustration with churches that pay foreign artists in dollars while expecting local musicians to perform for free. Dakolo lamented that many choir members struggle to afford basic necessities, including transportation and uniforms, yet churches refuse to pay them fairly.
Dakolo argued that gospel musicians are not the problem, pointing out that churches charge fees for services and events. He used Don Moen as an example, noting that churches wouldn't offer him a meager ₦5 million. Dakolo urged churches to stop undervaluing local talent and recognize the value of music as an art form.
Dakolo emphasized that the music ministry is vital to the church and deserves respect and fair compensation. He encouraged religious leaders to value people and their craft, acknowledging that not everyone earns the same salary within the church. Dakolo's statement was made "in love," aiming to spark change and promote fairness in the treatment of gospel musicians.
