Erico made this revelation in an interview on Entertainment on Kasapa FM.

He recounted how he has been treated unfairly by notable church leaders and event organizers

who have refused to pay him for services he rendered to them.

He noted that most of his colleague gospel artistes suffer same fate in the hands of several

men of God because they don’t value their talents.

“The challenges we (gospel artistes) go through is numerous but most people think

everything is well smoothly.

We are invited to perform at churches and other corporate events yet we treated as if our talent is for free.

Most Pastors don’t pay us when we perform at their events. I remember how one man of God refused to pay me after performing at his church and I had to walk from Nungua to my house at North Kaneshie,” he said.

According to Erico, church event organizers think because their talents are gift from

God they should minister for free.

“At times the money given to you is so humiliating that it can’t take care of your team’s

transport back to their destination.

But he also recounted how costly and challenging it has been for gospel artistes to record songs, market and promote them.

but I thought that because gospel has been my background from day one, I can’t do away with that genre

but I’ve now realized Okraku’s advise was true. In my next life, I’ll rather choose Highlife over gospel.” Erico sadly told Kojo Preko Dankwa
