Daddy Freeze countered Pastor Adeboye’s son, Leke after he took to Instagram to defend the payment of First Fruit Sacrifice and First Fruit Increase.
In a short video shared by Leke on Instagram, the Redeemed Christian Church of God General Overseer’s son stated that First Fruit Increase offering is the payment of the added money on one’s income in a new year. He also disclosed that First Fruit Sacrifice is to give all the salary/income one earned in the first month of a new year.
Leke insisted that payment of each of the offerings is optional and all depends on one’s relationship with God.

However Daddy Freeze who appreciated Leke for giving a detailed explanation of the offerings, countered him on the premise upon which the doctrine is based. He dared Leke to show Christians where payment of First Fruit was recorded in the Bible.
Daddy Freeze also wondered how Leke’s example of the First Fruit sacrifice Abraham gave is related to money.
He wrote;
Pastor Adeboye’s Son Leke Defends First Fruit. My Response:
Dear Leke Adeboye,
The leader of the Free Nation in Christ greets you and brings glad tidings.
I do appreciate your detailed explanation on the above topic but permit me to disagree with the premise upon which your doctrine is based.

You described a scenario where an increase of 1 Naira was given as first fruit increase. Please as a Berean Christians described in the verse below: ? Acts 17:11 ?
And the people of Berea were more noble than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.These Christians were described as more noble than the Thessalonians, because they searched the scriptures daily, to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth, so kindly indulge us, show us where this first fruit increase is in the Bible so we can go and ‘search’ for it.

You spoke of the First Fruit sacrifice that Abraham gave and you stated the instance of giving his son. Please explain to us with scriptural evidence how this became money, or don’t your church members have children to sacrifice like Abraham did?

Abraham was given the sacrifice of a ram by God who counted his faith as righteousness for obeying him. This sacrifice of yours in my opinion is not in obedience to God, rather it’s the propagation of man made ideas as commands from God (Mark7:7), so it cannot be counted as righteousness.

? Romans 4:3 ?
New Living Translation
For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”
–
Furthermore, neither Christ nor the disciples gave any concession or command that required believers to pay first fruit, instead the New Testament clearly states that Christ is the first fruit of the grave, a sacrifice from God himself to the believers who are now his priests, suggesting that first fruit is money rejects the sacrifice God gave us and puts Christ once again to public shame by nailing him to the cross.
(Hebrews6:6)

? 1 Corinthians 15:20 ?
New International Version
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
At 31, Lagos-born Espago is redefining what it means to be a late bloomer in the Nigerian music
space. After spending years as a chef, designer, and farmer, Espago turned to music just a year
ago on a journey sparked by deep loss, life experience, and self-discovery.
What makes him different? It’s not just his sound, it’s his story. Espago brings a calm but
confident energy that mirrors his Lagos upbringing: a blend of vibrant Fuji rhythms and soulful
Afrobeat traditions like King Sunny Ade, shaped by global legends like Michael Jackson and
Celine Dion. His voice? Professionally trained. His brand? Stylish, grounded, and intentional.
Espago didn’t wait for the industry to find him; he found his own way in, teaching himself,
searching out producers, and building his identity from scratch. With no major label backing and
no big-name features, he has still built a brand marked by boldness, emotion, and Lagos street
authenticity.
He’s not just making music; he’s building a lifestyle brand. His creative roots are in food,
fashion, and music fused into something richer than just a “sound.” It’s a full experience. While
he hasn’t performed live yet, he’s putting in the work behind the scenes, mentoring new artists,
recording regularly to sharpen his voice and brand for bigger stages ahead.
In a scene dominated by speed, Espago’s journey is about intentional growth, honest
expression, and emotional connection.
As the new class of Afro‑HipHop begins to take shape, Espago stands out not just for what he’s
making, but for who he is becoming.
Rising artist Derriq isn’t just making music for entertainment; he’s building a legacy rooted in culture, resilience, and pride. The Lagos-based Afro-soul and Afrobeats singer has his eyes set on something bigger than streaming numbers: putting his hometown of Benin City on the global creative map is his dream.
A native of Edo State, Derriq’s musical journey began as a child organizing school parties just for the chance to perform. Since then, he’s gone from studio assistant to full-fledged artist, releasing impactful tracks like “Position,” “Vibration,” and “Confidence.” His sound, described as smooth, calm, and party-ready, reflects the duality of his personality: laid-back yet determined, quiet but powerful.
Derriq is more than just a promising name on Nigeria’s growing music roster; he’s a symbol of the next generation of artists who blend regional identity with global appeal using his distinctive voice, a strong sense of direction, and his signature slang “Yehboo! Yezaiii!” making waves among fans, Derriq is proving that cultural authenticity still cuts through the noise.
His next single, “Omo n’ Ogie,” is a tribute to his heritage and a signal that he’s just getting started. Keep your eyes on Derriq, he’s not just singing for the moment, he’s singing for a movement.
