Don’t church members pay him? – Bullgod slams Dag Heward-Mills over claims of not paying instrumentalists

A viral video circulating on social media captured Bishop Heward-Mills firmly stating that he does not believe in paying musicians who play instruments during church services.

The comment sparked massive discussion and drew a wave of criticism from a cross-section of netizens, including many Christians.

Sharing his thoughts on the issue during the April 19, 2025, edition of United Showbiz, Bullgod did not hold back in criticising the Bishop.

He described the comment as “nonsense,” stating that the man of God benefits from the offerings of church members, and as such, there is nothing wrong with giving a small portion back to church workers.

“If his statement is a general one, then I am sorry to say that whatever he said was nonsense. Don’t they pay him every Sunday? We have all seen his progress from where he started his church to where he is now. So what is wrong with him giving a small portion of the fortune he has to his church people for their work?

“Also, if he knows how to play every instrument he should do that every Sunday when he goes to church… How would you speak like that? It is sad because he will sleep in a mansion and can’t give a small money to musicians. He should shut up if he doesn’t have anything to say,” he said.

Bullgod further emphasised that the bishop’s statements were not only unfair but entirely unnecessary.

“What he said makes no sense. If he like he should take me to court. What he said is nonsense. This Sunday I will go to his church and inform him that whatever he said is nonsense,” he added.
