Ghanaian Gospel songstress, Celestine Donkor has lashed churches who fail to pay their singers and instrumentalists during an interview on Rainbow Radio.
According to her, it is pure wickedness for churches to invite gospel musicians and instrumentalists for programs without paying them.
She narrated an ordeal she experienced some years ago where she asserted that she received only 60 cedis after performing at an event for a church because she didn’t officially charge them.
In the course of the interview, she lamented that;
It is pure wickedness not to bless a gospel singer after he or she performs at an event. It is against the will of God not to bless musicians who perform in churches. Even when we rehearse, we pay for the venue. We pay not less than GHc60 per hour for the venue. The team supporting me should also look good. And when you don’t recognize their efforts, they will not even pick your calls when you need them again. And so, when you don’t bless gospel singers, it is pure wickedness
