During a recent sermon, Apostle Femi Lazarus highlighted the high fees charged by some gospel singers, labeling them excessive for ministry work.
He presented an invoice from a gospel artist requesting a $10,000 honorarium, a 50% non-refundable deposit, a first-class flight, and premium accommodation. Apostle Lazarus argued that such financial expectations contradict the true essence of gospel ministry.
He also alleged that some gospel singers avoid billing influential pastors to seek endorsements while imposing high charges on smaller ministries.
His remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting his stance and others arguing that gospel singers deserve fair compensation for their work.
