Nigerian music producer K Solo has addressed Pastor Femi Lazarus’ recent criticism of gospel artists charging for performances. In a video interview with media personality Daddy Freeze, K Solo firmly defended the right of gospel musicians to request payment for their work.
During the discussion, which was shared on Daddy Freeze’s Instagram, K Solo highlighted the significant financial investment required to produce music, including studio costs, equipment, and promotional efforts. He argued that music is a professional field, and expecting artists to perform for free is both unfair and unsustainable.
The debate began after a sermon by Pastor Femi Lazarus, leader of Light Nation Church, went viral in March 2025. Lazarus questioned the spiritual integrity of gospel musicians who demand large fees, referencing an instance where a singer allegedly requested N5 million for a church performance. He suggested that true ministry should be guided by faith rather than financial transactions.
His remarks sparked widespread discussion, with some supporting his stance on keeping gospel music ministry-focused, while others—like K Solo—criticized the view as impractical, overlooking the economic realities of the music industry.

@Plannerse1862;”K Solo said rubbish all through the video. Femi didn’t attack anyone and he didn’t mention names; he spoke his mind and he has the right to so do. However, becoming offended because someone said or vented his opinion is the height of recklessness. K Solo or what does he calls himself missed it on this and I believe he should apologize to Femi Lazarus.”
@atangabriba;”K.solo was really active in those days in our church at Ogba Lagos. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏”
@oghowemabrahamakpata;”Because don moen was paid and you now think it was normal? If other pastors or ministers was payed it doesn’t make it right.”
@dikko__blacker:”Please don’t answer those people. I’m a good Christian long as pastors are been paid for the work of their father then instrumentalist,choir and everyone’s else that work for the church should be paid for their service.”
