A public feud between gospel singer Timi Dakolo and Apostle Femi Lazarus has come to an end, with the two announcing that they have put their differences aside. The controversy began when Apostle Lazarus criticized gospel singers for charging high fees for their performances.
Dakolo responded to the criticism, questioning the authenticity of an alleged invoice from Apostle Lazarus and
pointing out that the pastor himself charges for his school of ministry. However, in a recent post on his Instagram
page, Apostle Lazarus shared a photo with Dakolo and Apostle Iren, indicating that the two have reached a mutual
understanding.
Apostle Lazarus praised Dakolo as a “music legend” who genuinely cares about the welfare of musicians. He
acknowledged that the pain and concerns of musicians are real and expressed commitment to building better
structures to support them.
The cleric emphasized the need for hosts and guests to do better in the future, saying that they will work together to
build a better nation. Dakolo’s response to the controversy had sparked a heated debate about the fees charged by gospel singers.
Apostle Lazarus’s criticism of gospel singers had been seen as an attack on the music industry, but his recent post
suggests that he is willing to listen to the concerns of musicians. The controversy had highlighted the need for
greater transparency and accountability in the music industry.
