It depends on what you\u2019ve been directed to do. If we are doing a program and we have been directed by the Holy Spirit not to charge, we would not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t charge at my concert because I have been directed not to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Sunsum Kronkron<\/em> hitmaker also pointed out that there is a need to cover costs when putting together concerts hence the reason why it\u2019s not wrong to charge gate fees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with taking gate fees because of the cost of event planning. I am particularly keen on what God is saying about that particular event and what he intends to do and if anything is a hindrance, I\u2019ll take the thing away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not because I have something against gate fees but it\u2019s just the direction that God has given me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Siisi Baido is a prolific gospel musician who has songs like <em>The Promise<\/em>, <em>Onyame Tumfo<\/em>, and <em>Kabiyesi<\/em> amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently promoting his single titled <em>Sunsum Kronkron<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gospel musician Siisi Baidoo says there is nothing wrong with charging gate fees at Christian events.
