In the aftermath of the just concluded and very successful 'Experience 12' which is the annual musical concert sponsored and organised by Pastor Paul Adefarasin and the House on the Rock Church, in which he was one of those not considered, popular gospel artiste and president of the association of gospel artistes in Nigeria has thrown a salvo at some of his colleagues in the gospel music ministry.

In a FaceBook post on 5 December 2017, the 'Wekilemo' crooner alleges that there are those who sing, record or use the sons of other artistes without permission. He calls it a fraud and stealing.

The post however did not go down well with some of those who provided comments. For example, 'Aniebet Abasi Ekerenam responded as follows: "When we all sang 'Good morning Jesus, Good morning Lord,' 'I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart' I don't know who we took permission from." Another facebook user, Ethel Abe commented as follows: "Ekiye, abeg (sic) remove the singing clause O! If sang as special numbers, the singer should cite or acknowledge the original artiste. All the Christmas songs, hymns etc that we sing are understandably sung without owner's approval. I concur 100% with you over the recording and other 'use' especially if they are of commercial nature...."
