The bishop’s remarks, caught in a circulating video on social media, have ignited intense public backlash, including responses from Christians and entertainment stakeholders alike.
Speaking passionately on the April 19, 2025 edition of United Showbiz, Bullgod didn’t mince words, calling the bishop’s statement “nonsense” and “unfair.”
“If his statement is a general one, then I’m sorry to say that what he said was nonsense,” Bullgod stated.
“Don’t they pay him every Sunday? Why is it wrong to give a small portion of church offerings to those who actually serve the church with their talent?”
Bullgod also pointed out the growth and prosperity of Bishop Heward-Mills’ ministry over the years, suggesting that refusing to pay musicians is hypocritical, especially considering the bishop’s own comfort and lifestyle.

“He sleeps in a mansion and can’t give musicians a token? That’s sad. If he can play all instruments himself, he should do that every Sunday,” he added.
The outspoken pundit didn’t stop there. In a bold statement, Bullgod dared the bishop to take legal action if he felt offended:
“What he said makes no sense. If he likes, he should take me to court. This Sunday I’ll go to his church and tell him to his face that what he said is nonsense.”

This heated exchange has reignited the long-standing conversation around whether churches should compensate musicians, especially when churches generate significant income through tithes, offerings, and donations.
💬 What’s Your Take?
Do you think churches should pay instrumentalists and vocalists who serve regularly? Or is their service purely a spiritual sacrifice?
