Pubic City Music? Dante Bowe Wears Filthy, Filthy, FIIIIILTHY Shirt For Vogue Photoshoot

Viewer Discretion is Advised. For real.

Former Maverick City Music singer Dante Bowe continues to spiral into worldliness and obscenity, this time by wearing a filthy shirt during a Vogue photoshoot that is unprecedented in terms of behavior that we’ve seen before from a self-declared Christian worship artist.

Last year, Bowe was ejected from MCM for unspecified wrongdoing. Bowe issued a brief non-apology apology that he later deleted, writing, “I sincerely apologize for the impact of my behavior and that it has offended many people on the platform we share together.” While he may have made private amends, nowhere in his statements did he publicly apologize for the behavior itself, but rather only the “impact” of his behavior on others. Likewise, he did not admit to any wrongdoing, only that his actions behavior “offended many people” on Instagram. It’s a dressed-up version of ‘I’m sorry you were offended.’

Fans of Bowe were dismayed he was removed over a seemingly minor infraction, yet media obtained exclusively by Protestia suggests it wasn’t the only reason. Bowe also accidentally posted a brief video on his Instagram Stories that was quickly deleted, but not before being captured and saved. In the short clip, Bowe films himself naked in front of a mirror, wearing only a tank top rolled up to his armpits while he preens and exposes himself. 

Recently, Bowe also made the news after his pastor, friend, and business partner 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 now this shirt?

What more is there to say?

‘Amen Church’ Leader Promotes Gay Marriage During Concert; Crowd Falls Silent, Many Walk Out in Protest

In late 2021, Dr. Field Harrison and his wife Sabrina launched Amen Church in Dallas, Texas. A dentist by profession (and NOT a doctor of theology). The church was unique in that it was all staffed by volunteers and there are no paid positions, with Harrison pledging to donate all tithes to charity- sometimes homeless shelters, other times hospitals. In a since-deleted message on their ‘About me page,’ he explains, “You don’t have to be a pastor to grow the church. Every believer of Jesus is called to do that.”

Sabrina said the name for the church came to her while reading the bible. ”So in reading the Bible, that’s the one word I read every day, and it’s actually one of the names of God. So when I read ‘amen,’ right then I knew,”

Along with being the founder and chairman of Mint Dentistry, Harrison is also the chairman of True Music Label, which he founded with Dante Bowe, who is the CEO. TML has three artists on the cards: Amen Music, Amen Musica and Dante Bowe. Bowe is the former Maverick City Music member who got axed after being involved in a nude selfie scandal and who reportedly also attends Amen Church. His close ties to Harrison and Amen Church explains why Dante Bowe frequently performs worship at his church and why he was featured in all three Amen Nights. 

Amen Nights is a worship night/concert in the park put on by Amen Church. Their recent show included Dante Bowe, Aaron Moses, Tianna, and Lizzie Morgan. Near the end of the show, Field Harrison got up on stage and taught some gay-affirming theology, dropping hoped-for applause lines but finding himself bitterly disappointed when the crowd of Christians was not into it at all, with reports that many walked out in protest.

(Also, that no one in this crowd jumped up and shouted him down as a heretic is shameful)

They say you can’t drink. He says ‘I’m going to make wine at this party when we run out.’ They say ‘I’m going to be judgmental. I’m supposed to be judgmental.’ Jesus says ‘you should not be judgmental. Otherwise, you will be judged.’

They say that nobody of the same-sex should ever get married. Jesus goes mute on this issue. Jesus says ‘love is sacred.’ There’s only one unforgivable sin, the sin against the Holy Spirit, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and if you think preaching against love isn’t blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, then I don’t know what it is.

When people love each other, to break that up, that is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and it’s time for someone at church to speak up that what we are preaching is ridiculous.

We have to follow Jesus on another level. His words deserve to be the highest. He spoke for the Father. No one else spoke for the father other than Jesus Christ. That is what makes him the Messiah, that is why we are here, and if we get confused thinking that he is discriminatory toward anybody for a lifestyle or for a race or for interracial marriage. Think about 50 years ago when people weren’t even getting allowed to get married in some areas, when they weren’t of the same race, how ridiculous that is, and this world became more loving than Christians.

And there are people in this city that preach hate and we have to come against it as Christians. We gotta be like, ‘that is ridiculous. Jesus would never do that to anybody.‘ He would love people, He would love people on the level. He would love people so amazingly, openly, because he doesn’t want to change your sexuality; He wants to change your mentality. He want to change you. He doesn’t want you to be hateful. He values, faith, justice, and mercy. And here we are judging people for things he never even said.

But guys, there are some people that want to treat the whole Bible as equal, just not this guy...we want obedience to change the world. And I know this is not for everyone, and I know that it’s not appreciated especially in a Christian crowd, but it’s time for a Christian stand up for those that don’t have a voice.

Some who were there report that they walked out after the fact, including these two groups.

Dante Bowe Is Back With New Single, New Label, and New Concerts after Nude Selfie Scandal

Disgraced singer Dante Bowe is back in the limelight and ready to rock and roll, according to a new puff-piece interview with CBN News, revealing that he’s been busy since being dumped with Maverick City Music.

Not only did he release his new single ‘Hide Me’ in the middle of New York’s Time Square on ABC’s Good Morning America just a few days ago, but he started up his record label called True Music where he has a new album in the works that is set to be released in a few months.

He already has several shows ready to go, performing in Richmond County on January 13, and now headlining Rock the Universe on January 28. This is Orlando’s biggest Christian music festival, where he will be performing with Bethel Music, Rend Collective (very problematic band) , Skillet, and Mathew West. Bowe told CBN News:

“I mean, it’s been an incredible journey the last few months. I feel healthier than ever. Better than ever. Brighter than ever. Feel closer to God. Yeah, I’m good…

You know, God’s going to use people and things to catapult you into your next step. So, I don’t think it was like something that shouldn’t have happened. I think it should have happened because now I have this incredible team. I’ve rebuilt my infrastructure with the most incredible people and most incredible producer, John John, who’s helped me release Hide Me, and this entire album Press Play.

I don’t think that would have happened if, you know, just certain things didn’t occur. The trials are not in vain. Nothing is wasted. Nothing’s in vain.”

Several months ago, Bowe was kicked out of the Grammy-winning worship band Maverick City music after demonstrating “behavior inconsistent with our core values and beliefs.”

Though no specific cause was given, it was reported by many that he was axed for partying and singing the Bad Bunny song “Despues De La Playa,” a Spanish song with filthy lyrics that caused the band no end of controversy. Our exclusive investigation, however, reveals that he wasn’t asked to leave the group simply for those speculated reasons but because he accidentally posted sexually explicit material of himself online, revealing a hidden life incompatible with one of the biggest worship bands on the planet.

Dante would later release a non-apology that he quickly deleted (but not before we obtained a screenshot of it where he does not admit to any wrongdoing, only that his behavior “offended many people.” As a result of his termination from Maverick City Music, he cancelled his ‘Joyful Tour.’ 

Unfortunately, Dante’s reasons for his termination have not gained widespread publicity and many are not aware of why he was let go, giving Bowe the opportunity to step back into his life like nothing’s ever happened.

Former Maverick City Music singer Dante Bowe is set to participate in a series of events in his hometown of Rockingham, NC this weekend, serving as the Grand Marshal for the annual MLK parade and performing a local concert at Rockingham Middle School, in events sponsored by the Richmond County Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Foundation.

Several months ago, Bowe was kicked out of the Grammy-winning worship band Maverick City music after demonstrating “behavior inconsistent with our core values and beliefs.”

Though no specific cause was given, it’s been reported by many that he was axed for partying and singing the Bad Bunny song “Despues De La Playa,” a Spanish song with filthy lyrics that caused the band no end of controversy.

This event will be his first public performance since his expulsion. With most of his social media having gone dark and Bowe not posting anything on Instagram since in the last 3 months, this may be the start of his return back into the limelight and into the public eye.

Exclusive! Dante Bowe Reportedly Released from Maverick City Music After Accidentally Posting Nude Video

Days after Maverick City Music suspended their professional relationship with singer Dante Bowe, citing “behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs,” sources say he wasn’t asked to leave the group simply for reportedly dancing and singing with artist Bad Bunny on a party bus (a musician whose lyrics are coarse and filthy) as has been speculated, but rather because he accidentally posted sexually explicit material of himself online, revealing a hidden life incompatible with one of the biggest worship bands on the planet.

Maverick City Music is a Christian 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 both a GMA Dove Award and a Grammy for their song Old Church Basement. Bowe has received many accolades, including six nominations at the 2022 Dove awards and five at the 2021 Grammy awards, taking home wins in several categories.

In the last year, the band has courted its fair share of controversy, with drummer Harold Brown posting then deleting a pro-choice message on Instagram where he repeatedly intoned “men shouldn’t be making laws about women’s bodies” and lead singer Chandler Moore issuing a defiant ‘apology” after his salacious wedding photo went viral.

In a statement on Instagram, after explaining that Bowe was axed for this unspecified inconsistent behavior, Maverick lamented 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 being suspended, Bowe issued a brief non-apology apology that he later deleted, writing, “I sincerely apologize for the impact of my behavior and that it has offended many people on the platform we share together.” While he may have made private amends, nowhere in his statements did he publicly apologize for the behavior itself, but rather only the “impact” of his behavior on others. Likewise, he did not admit to any wrongdoing, only that his actions behavior “offended many people” on Instagram. It’s a dressed-up version of ‘I’m sorry you were offended.’

Fans of Bowe were dismayed he was removed over a seemingly minor infraction, yet media obtained exclusively by Protestia suggests it wasn’t the only reason. Bowe also accidentally posted a brief video on his Instagram Stories that was quickly deleted, but not before being captured and saved.

In the short clip, Bowe films himself naked in front of a mirror, wearing only a tank top rolled up to his armpits while he preens and exposes himself. While there is no hint at his intended audience, several followers reported seeing the video and being shocked and upset at what they saw. With this activity revealing that the vaunted Christian musician has a deep and abiding sin problem, the cause of his departure is more than justified.

We reached out to Bowe’s and Maverick City Music’s publicists but did not receive a response at the time of publication. We are purposefully choosing to only release censored and cropped images from the video and not the more scandalous versions. These will suffice, as Bowe and his team have more than enough information to recognize where this video comes from and to validate its authenticity.

We pray that Bowe cries out to God for mercy and forgiveness, that he would repent of his sins and enter into a right relationship with his God and Savior, rather than continue on this treacherous path that only leads to destruction.

Maverick City Music Singer Dante Bowe Gives Non-apology ‘Apology’ After Being Suspended

Days after worship band Maverick City Music announced they were “pausing” their relationship with singer Dante Bowe after he demonstrated “behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs,” Bowe himself has released a since-deleted statement seemingly only disguised as an apology.

I sincerely apologize for the impact of my behavior and that it has offended many people on the platform we share together. This experience has been a very real reminder of the importance of being incredibly intentional with how I utilize and engage with the tools social platforms provide.

Throughout this process, I have received wise counsel which influenced my decision to take a step back and reflect about my actions so that I may recommit to living in the purpose God has for my life.

While he may have made private amends, nowhere in his last two statements has he publicly apologized for the behavior itself, but rather only the “impact” of his behavior on others. Likewise, he does not admit to any wrongdoing, only that his behavior “offended many people” on Instagram. It’s essentially a dressed-up version of ‘I’m sorry you were offended.’

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 with filthy lyrics that caused the band no end of controversy. Other reasons for his dismissal have been unconfirmed.

Editor’s Note. When is the Maverick City Music bandmember  who recently came out as pro-choice going to be dealt with?

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?
