Maverick City Music has announced a “pause” in their relationship with singer Dante Bowe after what they termed a display of “inconsistent” behavior.
According to a statement released by the music group, “Due to behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs, we have decided to put a pause on our professional relationship with Dante Bowe,”. “Decisions like these are not easy because of the level of nuance, both professionally and personally, but we felt it necessary to address.”
Dante who has been a part of the group since its inception in 2019, announced on his Instagram account that he was going to take a social media hiatus and made his Instagram page private. According to him, “In light of recent events and opinions, I’ve talked to some of wisest leaders and brothers around me,” he wrote. “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,” he added.
The worship group has taken the Christian music industry by storm with songs that include their Grammy-winning single “Jireh,” and “Promises”, which has 92 million views on YouTube.
