Worship Band Maverick City Music Cuts Ties with Bandmate- (No, Not the Pro-Choice One)- Over Bad Behavior

Worship band Maverick City Music has announced that they’ve cut ties with one of their members for “behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs,” and it’s not the one who recently came out as pro-choice.

MCM is a Christian music worship collective based in Atlanta that has seen much success in just a few years. Known for such songs as ‘Jireh’, ‘Promises’, and ‘Wait on you,’ their album Maverick City Vol. 3/ Part 1 recently won a Billboard Music Award for the Top Gospel album, and they recently won a both a GMA Dove Award and a Grammy for their song Old Church Basement.

In a statement on Instagram, they write that popular singer Dante Bowe has been axed for this “inconsistent behavior,” and as a result, they have “decided to put a pause on our professional relationship with Dante Bowe” and that “decisions like these are not easy because of the level of nuance, both professionally and personally, but we felt it necessary to address.”

In response to his ousting, Bowe himself announcing he’s going to “take time off social media to rest mentally and physically.”

Though no specific cause was given, it’s believed that part of the reason stems from a video of him that was released partying and singing the Bad Bunny song “Despues De La Playa,” a Spanish song which has these filthy lyrics and caused the band no end of controversy.

Tell me where do we go after the beach
If we get dry, I’ll bring the towel
And later we get wet but in my bed
I’m going to give it to you hard

Now when we gonna talk about the member who thinks killing babies is a woman’s right?

Popular worship leader Chandler Moore of the Maverick City Music Collective has issued a defiant non-apology to critics who have taken exception to his public post-marital activities, voicing their displeasure after he posted a photo from his wedding day where his new bride, Hannah Poole, is twerking on him, much to his apparent delight.

Moore, 26, is a singer-songwriter based in Atlanta who has taken off in popularity the last few years. His album Maverick City Vol. 3/ Part 1 recently won a Billboard Music Award for the Top Gospel album, and only 2 months ago he recently collaborated with Steven Furtick’s Elevation Worship band on the album ‘This Old Basement.”

The musician was inundated with criticism on social media last week after he captioned a wedding picture of his wife bent over at the waist while he presses into her from behind, hand on her lower back in a very sexually suggestive action:

“@hgracemoore knows how to twerrrrrrrk. #hallelujah JEEESUS,

Though news outlets like the Christian Post are claiming he apologized for the incident- he did nothing of the sort.

Rather in a follow-up post, Moore claps back at his critics, suggesting that his wife was simply “dancing on him” on account of “great music being played” and that he apologizes “if it offended you that I posted it.”

Far from apologizing, Moore, who has a young son from a previous relationship, went on the offensive and blasted those “demeaning” his marriage by claiming that this sexual irreverence is a sign he is bound to have a rough marriage- a charge Moore vehemently denies.

Moore explains that “the first principle of correction is proximity to the one who is about to be corrected, and that none of his critics would know him or anything about him, and therefore their concern is none of his.

For his part, he intends to ignore the haters and those seeking to shame him, opining that his wife will continue to twerk on him and there’s nothing anyone can do about it, as he does not care.
