Renowned gospel singer and host of the annual Hallelujah Challenge, Nathaniel Bassey, has addressed critics questioning his choice not to monetize his social media pages.
Recently, a man conducted a detailed analysis highlighting how much Bassey could be earning from his large online following, particularly during the highly viewed Hallelujah Challenge sessions.
Speaking on the 23rd day of the program, Bassey revealed that he has faced heavy criticism for his stance but maintained that he has no intention of monetizing his platforms. According to him, God has not directed him to do so, and he remains confident that his blessings will come through other means.
The worship leader further explained that any decision he makes would still attract public judgment. He noted that if he decided to monetize his pages, people would accuse him of turning ministry into a business, and if he didn’t, some would label him as proud.
Bassey also used the opportunity to caution his followers against online scammers exploiting his unmonetized status. He advised fans to verify that any official YouTube account bears the name “Nathaniel Bassey Main,” warning them not to engage with other channels using his name to make money.
Reflecting on the impact of the Hallelujah Challenge, the gospel artiste celebrated testimonies shared by participants and expressed gratitude to God for the lives transformed through the program. He also recently posted a video showing the land he acquired for the Hallelujah Challenge house, revealing that by God’s grace, the building was completed in just eight months.
