- Timi Dakolo and Apostle Femi Lazarus are in an ongoing disagreement.
- The conflict escalated after Lazarus criticized gospel singers for charging performance fees in churches.
- Dakolo defended gospel artists, stating they deserve to earn a living from their music.
The disagreement between R&B singer Timi Dakolo and Apostle Femi Lazarus seems far from over, as the musician recently shared a cryptic video following the pastor’s concession in their debate.
The controversy began when Apostle Lazarus, founder of Light Nation Church, criticized gospel singers for charging fees to perform in churches. In response, Dakolo defended the practice, arguing that gospel artists have the right to earn a living from their craft.
The discussion took a surprising turn when Dakolo pointed out that Apostle Lazarus himself charges $150 for enrollment in his ministry school. This revelation sparked further reactions, leading the pastor to backtrack and acknowledge the singer’s perspective. In a conciliatory gesture, Apostle Lazarus referred to Dakolo as a legend who deserved recognition for his contributions, even sharing a picture of himself with the artist.
Shortly after, Dakolo posted a short video featuring two boys by the sea—one throwing a stone into the water, while the other threw a stone at him. Many interpreted the clip as a subtle dig at Apostle Lazarus, suggesting that the singer was making a pointed statement about their recent exchange.

@officialpascalamanfo:”I honestly don’t get the suggestive funny posts, unintentionally or intentionally meant as a sub! You made a valid point! So did the MOG! This is a matter where we can all agree to disagree or agree to agree! It is a subject of open discourse for the kingdom where we listen, learn, marry the varying perspectives and more importantly agree to do better!”
@kevwe5_9photography:”Timi I hope all is well at home? Asking respectfully.”

@toyeogunyemi:”I think Timi is being petty and he should grow up a bit.”
@motundefash:”Childish…. To make heaven ehn? The MOG settled with you but you still get am for mind. You think he is weak ? No he is not. As a true Christ follower, the question will always be ‘ What will JESUS do?’.”

@thereallatunji:”@timidakolo I love you man, but this is wrong on all levels… Not when Apostle has posted to put the matter to bed and acknowledged both parties can do better. May the Love of God fill your heart bro. One.”
