Daddy Freeze claims wealth requires value creation, not worship, challenging prosperity gospel

Daddy Freeze declared during an Instagram Live video on Wednesday night (September 9, 2026) that people don't need to worship God to become rich, directly challenging the prosperity gospel narrative. He made these remarks while reacting to TikToker Peller's claim that God blessed him financially while he slept at home while others prayed at night during Pastor Tobi Adegboyega's church service in the UK.

The media personality argued that attributing wealth to God keeps people poor, stating: 'If God gave money through prayer, the top 10 richest people would be born-again Christians.' He insisted wealth comes from creating value, claiming one could 'wake up everyday and say, I hate God, I hate God, I hate God, and still be rich' without acknowledging God's existence. Daddy Freeze questioned why many committed Christians remain among the poorest if prayer equated to financial blessing.

This debate strikes at the heart of a widespread belief in Nigerian Christianity that links religious devotion to material prosperity. By separating wealth creation from worship, Daddy Freeze prompts readers to examine whether their financial strategies rely on divine intervention or tangible value provision in the marketplace.
