Nigerian gospel singer Timi Dakolo and cleric Apostle Lazarus have set aside their differences after a public debate over gospel musicians charging fees for performances.
The disagreement began when Apostle Lazarus criticized gospel artists for placing financial demands on ministry engagements. Dakolo countered by questioning the authenticity of an alleged invoice and pointing out that the cleric himself charges fees for his ministry school.
In a recent Instagram post, Apostle Lazarus shared a photo with Dakolo and Apostle Iren, signaling a resolution. He praised Dakolo as a “music legend” and acknowledged the genuine struggles of musicians.
“My brother @timidakolo is a music legend. Give him his flowers. What a man! He genuinely carries the burdens of musicians. His concerns are real. I love you. Better structures will be built,” he wrote.
He also emphasized that both hosts and guests in ministry must do better, expressing hope for a future where such conflicts are avoided.
