Dante Bowe Denies Ever Being Kicked Out of Maverick City Music+ Justifies His Worldliness: 'I Don't Try Being Good'

Former Maverick City Music singer and celebrated gospel artist Dante Bowe has denied ever being kicked out of Maverick City as has been widely reported, telling Tim Ross during a recent podcast that he has no idea where that rumor even came from. Bowe explains:

It was like me and Maverick stopped working together. And you know, I never got kicked out of Maverick. I don’t know where that rumor came from, but I never got kicked out. They just wanted me to go away for six months. And I could have come back. Shout out to them. I love them.

Last year, Bowe was ejected from MCM for unspecified wrongdoing, which later turned out to involve a nude video of himself that accidentally leaked, which he has repeatedly lied about, and which has never received mainstream attention. At the time, MCM announced they were “pausing” their relationship with Bowe after he demonstrated “behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs,”

Bowe issued a brief non-apology apology that he later deleted. Since then, he’s continued to spiral into worldliness and obscenity, from recently wearing a disgusting shirt during a Vogue photoshoot that is unprecedented in terms of behavior that we’ve seen before from a self-declared Christian worship artist to his new filthy music video ‘Wind Me Up’ which features half-nude women dancing and gyrating throughout.

Bowe also made the news after his pastor, friend, and business partner of the church he attended went on a pro-LGBTQ rant at a worship concert his church was hosting. Afterward, in response to his pastor claiming that the Bible has errors and is not equally inspired, Dante’s church removed ‘The Bible is the inspired word of God’ from their statement of faith, at least being honest about what they believe and who Bowe is sitting under, and then later shuttering their doors altogether.

Later in the interview, Ross asks Bowe how he keeps his vulnerability with God. Bowe explains that he does so primarily by not trying to be good or behave in Christian ways, which, given his last two-year track record, would indicate he’s been very, very successful.

I’m not good. Like, I’m not a perfect person. Like, I’m not a good person without him. And so he know that. I know that. So I don’t act like I’m good. (Ross: Wow!) Like, I don’t act like I’m good, you know? It’s just like, he’s the great I am. You know? I don’t have any good in me without Jesus and He knows that. Like, I’m sure he’s happy I’m saved!… Because I’m a wild boy, and thank God no one ever has to see that.

..Like, I don’t serve Jesus so I don’t go to hell. Like, I don’t think about that no more. I serve him because it makes my life better. This is a really good relationship. Like, like, this is a good relationship. I’m trying to keep it. I might mess up, but I’ll come back. I’ll apologize. Like, I’ll get right. And I try to honor him as best as I can. And he lets me cuss people out sometimes, and I feel like I don’t get the karma.

As for Ross: we last wrote about the Transformation Church pastor after he said it shouldn’t be considered cheating for a married man to dance sexually, get twerked on, and slap the butt of a half-naked dancer. Then we featured him praising famed Modalist T.D. Jakes, while saying a belief in the Trinity is a secondary, non-essential issue and that it’s crazy for Christians to divide over Trinitarian doctrine. He also compared Jesus to a naked stripper that ‘puts bread in my pocket,’ mocked people upset about his lousy preaching, and said he’s never once felt convicted about cursing and cussing.
