Dante Bowe Releases New Song Online, Stays Silent on Nude Video Scandal
“behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs.”
Former Maverick City Music singer Dante Bowe has premiered a new song on Instagram, offering a soulful lament for those going through a “hard couple of months” while he and his management team stay silent on the recent scandals that have roiled his world.
Two months ago, Bowe was kicked out of the Grammy-winning worship band Maverick City music after he demonstrated “behavior that is 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. Our exclusive investigation, however, reveals that he wasn’t asked to leave the group simply for those speculated reasons 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.
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’ with Mount Horeb United Methodist Church, a venue he was supposed to perform at, notifying us back on October 13th that the tour was postponed until the next year.
It’s within this context that Bowe released a new song snippet, slowly playing the piano while he sings.
Hold on, hold on, hold on and don’t let go.
The author of my future is still on control
Fighting battles can get hard oh my God
But just hold on and don’t let go
If you’re looking for miracles they’re out there wait and see
Sometimes you have to lose it all to make room for bigger things
But fight back with only your heart pointed towards God
It’s all I know, if you can just hold on
Lalalala take another step and trust in God.

So far, Bowe has not exhibited anything close to repentance, and this song seems little more than a naked appeal to convince people that he’s somehow a victim who has something taken away from him rather than choosing to throw it all away on account of his sin and reckless actions.
