Big Brother Naija reality star Seyi Awolowo has said it is okay for gospel artistes to charge before performing at religious events.
He also said it is okay for them to monetise their music, stressing that they have responsibilities to cater for despite being gospel minstrels.
He stated this in a recent interview with Hip TV when asked whether gospel artistes should be paid or compensated for their talents.
Awolowo said,
"If you got a talent, you gotta make your money. So because of religion someone shouldn't get paid? We need to knock that mindset out. We literally need to take out that sentiment.
"Let's actually build on ourselves. If you have a talent if you can monetise it the right way, do so. You need to sell your talent."
