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?
