Femi Dapson Opens Up on Why He Left Winners’ Church Despite Working With Bishop Oyedepo

Popular Nigerian music producer and sound engineer Femi Dapson has opened up about his decision to walk away from his role at Winners’ Church, also known as Living Faith Church Worldwide, despite being in close circles with the ministry’s founder, Bishop David Oyedepo.

In a recent interview that has been making rounds online, Dapson revealed that his exit wasn’t due to conflict or scandal, but because of a personal calling to pursue music full-time.

According to the producer, he had the rare privilege of working directly with church leadership and even meeting presidents and dignitaries who visited the church. But behind the scenes, he felt a growing pull to build his own lane in the music industry.

“I had to leave Winners, honestly, because I was like, if I stay here, I’ll get too comfortable. At the time, I was CEO level. I was already working at the highest level of church—no uni degree.

I was wearing ties. I was meeting with presidents. I was like, Omo, don’t get carried away. You need to go and make money. And then I left. I came to Lagos.

And when I got to Lagos, I did a cleaning job for a bit. And I saw a job opportunity in a newspaper, actually on the back of a newspaper. And I just said Let me just apply”

“There were people with BScs there, bro. I kid you not. There were people with BScs. And I was there in the interview. I was like, Omo, this is crazy.

But when I entered there, as I said, I know how to make mouth. So I sold them dreams, and they were so excited. I was telling them that, see, I will make your life easy. This is what I was doing in Winners. Visiting entry. And they were so happy about it.”
