SHOCKING: Dante BOWE Got Kicked Out of Maverick City 🥶 | ELOHEISE+

From a good Source:
The popular worship collective Maverick City has cut ties with singer Dante Bowe. In a statement the band said Dante’s behaviour had been “inconsistent” with their “values and beliefs”. As fans are left confused and speculation mounts online, Heather Tomlinson reports on what we know so far, and suggests what a truly Christian response should look like

The parting of Christian music star Dante Bowe from popular worship collective Maverick City has provoked considerable speculation on social media as to the reasons why. The vagueness of the public announcement leaves a lot to the imagination.

A number of commentators - sticking to what is public knowledge - have attributed the split to some of Bowe’s recent social media posts and interviews.

When Dante praised Bad Bunny and Lil Nas X, rappers with a reputation for the risqué, it prompted a backlash among some fans of the band. Similarly, social media posts of him dancing to songs with overtly sexual lyrics have attracted criticism in recent weeks. Maverick City’s use of the word “nuance” in its statement might suggest that this kind of behaviour caused the split.

“Due to behaviour that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs, we have decided to put a pause on our professional relationship with Dante Bowe,” the statement said. “Decisions like these are not easy because of the level of nuance, both professionally and personally, but we felt it necessary to address.”

However nuanced, it hasn’t stopped speculation as to whether more serious behaviour is involved, which has been more typical of the evangelical celebrity circuit in recent years.

Bowe’s only public comment suggests less serious reasons. Before his Instagram was made private, he posted a photo of himself with the caption: “In light of recent events and opinions, I’ve talked to some of the wisest leaders and brothers around me. I’ll be taking time off social media to rest mentally and physically.

“Years ago, when I dreamt of all I would accomplish one day, I didn’t account for the pressure and opinions that would come with it. It’s important for everyone to know when to step back and refocus. Hope y’all understand and support. I’ll hit you up when I’m back. Love you guys! This is for the best.”

Bowe’s fame has risen meteorically since his debut single in 2017, with several Grammy nominations and a promising modelling career (he was hand-picked for Tommy Hilfiger’s catwalk) giving him a substantial platform. He’s previously performed at the UK’s Big Church Day Out and collaborated with Bethel Music – although his name is now conspicuously absent from its website’s list of artists.

He seemed aware of the dangers of fame. “No one’s worthy of a pedestal,” he said in an interview with Premier Christianity earlier this year. “It’s only God who can heal and save and restore. People are cool to be inspired by but not to idolise, as if they’re incapable of flaw. So being famous for being a Christian is ridiculous. We’re all just trying to live a life that’s pleasing to him.”

He also described picking up unwanted celebrity traits, such as expecting others to open the door for him.
