I agree with your point but the counterpoint is that a police report needs to be made when it is suspected that children are being abused. Even if what you reported is determined to be unfounded, if you contact the police, you are protected, unless you knowingly made a false report. On the other hand, if you make accusations against a person, you decide to “put them on blast” and what you said is unfounded, and what you said damages a persons reputation, you could be sued for slander. There’s a right and a wrong way to handle things.

I've played with choirs where the members of the band and singers slept together on the road. I've also been on the road and backstage with many very famous gospel artists where I've seen bad behavior by them.

@@tosinfayanju188 I don’t think anyone claims that they’re perfect. The problem is carrying on in such sin while on “ministry” and in a way of a double life; not a single “mistake”. These people are not simply slipping up, they’re active hypocrites. If we as Christians don’t take Jesus seriously in our conduct, and carry on in our sin in a double life underneath the “holy” mask, why should the world take us seriously when we preach about sin and the gospel? There’s a reason why the media loves stories of double lives in church; because for them it shows that you can’t trust Christians to have any integrity, and it slanders the name of Christ.

If an established artist is looking for new band members, you need to find out from the old band members why.

One time, I scored music for a well-known artist and only got paid when I ran up on his pastor at a conference and told him I had not been paid despite having sent multiple invoices. He pulled out a roll of money as big as my fist and paid me on the spot. Definitely changed my perspective about certain gospel artists, and taught me how to be vigilant and my handle business differently.

Thank you, my brother, for being candid about your experiences, and I pray God's blessings on your gifts and ministry. This is why a lot of us are leaving the black churches on the count of these behaviors out if si called saved and holy persons. God's Speed!

Great, great, great story telling! As a pk my parents were disappointed when I began producing r&b music. I signed with a label and the churches in my area gave me the side eye. But I would ask who their favorite gospel artist was and tell them how they were and what they were doing. They wouldn’t believe me. They wouldn’t believe they were cheating, or gay or one female artist who loves bi men. R&B was exactly like gospel except minus the hypocrisy.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had as a young singer was hearing the well known group we were traveling with cussing during the drive! (The drive for those that don’t know was the fast loud shouting music). The people were shouting and hollering while the group were singing random cuss words. Then they laughed about it backstage. I was very young and so shocked! The audience seemingly never knew.

I think he spoiled his testimony for you but I believe there is a lot to be view biblical with that statement. I look at is as if he is willing to write music in the presence of God naked and not ashamed (withholding nothing). Too many times the church we want to give God everything that we view as “good” about us and “hide” our flaws. God values us flaws and all. The Bible speaks of a pearl of great price (that is us), heaven bankrupted it self to buy us back. The interesting thing about a pearl is the flaws of the pearl is what makes it beautiful. I believe someone who can give God everything like that is the perfect witness for God. Mainly because God uses flawed people who don’t mind being completely themselves with God to reach flawed people.

My son's father was a musician for a huge gospel artist for 20 years. When he shared what went on, I wept like a baby because so many people think the world of this person. I rarely, rarely listen to our gospel here in America. I found the purest form through the African spiritual artists. Their songs are pure, ushers in the Holy Spirit and it's REAL. It's sad and you have to be careful about what you listen to because their spirits enter into their songs. Its so real and the vessel and the sound is important. It can create some things that and cause unwanted spirits to attach. Its so much and this is happening so freely as if it's normal.

I remember there was an artist I looked up to. I sang at his church, and one of the ministers introduced me to him. Next thing, he was messaging me on FB and eventually gave me his personal cell. After a while, I noticed we would only talk when he was driving to pick his kids up from school or if his wife was traveling. Seemed weird. He personally gave me free vip invite to his recording. Then we started talking about one of my favorite pastimes - working out. That's when it went left. First he started with coded language. It seemed off but this guy had literally number 1 hits out on billboard and he was my friend. I felt lucky and uncomfortable. It wasn't too long before during a phone conversation he told me how he wanted to sit in my lap and ride me like a stallion. When I wasn't receptive, he turned it like I was stalking him. So I went off on him. We never spoke again. But fellow musicians and singers constantly told me of his habit of running sexcapades when he traveled as a solo artist without his group. Complete let-down. Still can't listen to his music.

When you don’t speak out and expose sin within the church then you are coming in agreement with it. Why wasn’t anybody praying and using the authority God has given to his true believers and followers. I’m learning it’s a lot of Christians living double minded, prideful and carnal. You know spirits still transfer regardless if you break contact. If we don’t repent everyday, read Gods word, repent, pray and submit to Gods authority the enemy is still in control. Ask me him to reveal truth until you so your not of the world. I was sinner and I’m getting better everyday but the first thing I had to do was get out of disobedience and get into obedience and faithfulness. I had to get my mind cleansed because the enemy likes to play mind games, I had to give my heart to God by forgiving everyone who ever did anything to me and also asking for forgiveness for everything I ever did. When God showed me my true self without him I felt such shame and I cried like baby but I also released it and God forgave me. The enemy only has the power we give it but once you tell the devil no and continue to tell him no he will flee you. Now you could cuss me out and I wouldn’t go left and match energy but instead I would pray because I understand pain and hurt manifest in many different ways. Stay bless and I hope this helps your walk with God. Put your trust in him only.

I have a similar story. The ego is so massive that there is no room for anything else. ...and the lies. My my the lies. The integrity with the secular crews was far above anything that ever happened in the "Christian" arena. hands down. Humility, financial integriy, team ethics, and overall professionalism was epic on the road with rock and country acts. My life was darkened every time with a contemporary Christian charted tour. I traveled with only one dude (no airplay) who was the real deal. Small church tours, but it was fun and we ate well. :) I'm old, so my experience dates way back. In 2016 I was approached again and I reluctantly said yes to a one-off record deal and small tour. Nothing has changed. It was successful, yes. But the corruption is as smelly as it ever was, and I was vocal about it. I made a promise that I will never do it again. Use a good manager. Set your standards and stick to them. Been great ever since. ❤

I’m not surprised by this at all‼️

One of your best videos and so so so true. As a Radio DJ on both clubs and on the radio I have done different events with Gospel artists and have toured with a Gospel group. Let me tell you...first hand....I was super surprised. I grew up in the church and my father was a minister but I did DJ in the clubs for several years. So like yourself, Im thinking " Mmm...I gotta make sure I fly right being with these guys"...don't need no scandals or problems ................................... There is a blank space for a reason.....I saw it all! Some of these Gospel artists or much worse than the R&B and Hip Hop people. Touring is a way to "get out of the house" and I've seen dudes hit everything that wasn't nailed down. I've also seen "Polly Purebread types" doing things that would have your mouth dropped down to the floor. Drinking, Plenty of that, and it goes on and on. I remember my Program director of a station was hosting a Gospel concert in the city. MAJOR gospel artists. The concert was sold out. Went off without a hitch. At the end of the concert....(or as they say "program" because we aren't doing it for "show") The headliner decided to "raise an offering" because we all had been blessed with this wonderful experience. Now keep in mind....people had paid anywhere from $25 - $50 for tickets. (maybe more). The offering raised about $50,000 or so. So the Gospel Artist, my Program Director, and the Promoter went in the back and SPLIT the "offering". That was a "bonus" or as they call it "the blessing"! Remember that was on TOP of the ticket sales that were already purchased. So I am saying all of that to let you know that everything you laid out is not only true but it goes to another level!

I would like to thank you for your honesty and knowledge. this was informative and truthful about what goes on in the temple. Just subbed.

Met Shirley Caesar once years ago……not a nice woman completely changed my opinion on her

I’ve sang for many artists when they came to my town. I declined all offers to travel with them based on what I saw for the day or two they were in town alone. Everyone that took them up on the offers experienced the worst spiritual damage. Almost all were like this. The few that weren’t aren’t all that active on the music scene right now. It’s scary out here.

I’m personally not surprised by this story at all. In retrospect, I can see how fortunate I truly was to not have made it deeper into this type of circle as far as the industry is concerned. I’d say this though. Although I respect your decision to not name names, I would venture that people feel empowered to continue with this type of unchecked behavior because no one holds them accountable. What you call integrity, they call discretion.

The tour lasted 4 months, and Your dream came through big time on the very first night.

People who tell these stories without naming names--- positioning themselves as if they are not participating in the bad behavior they're highlighting---- are withholding names so they can still participate in the industry and not damage future opportunities for themselves. If you REALLY mean what you say and want to condemn these behaviors-- you would CALL OUT the names of people who are misrepresenting God, or even hurting people so there can be accountability and change. If you're not trying to do anything about it, then keep it yourself instead of making these videos feigning shock and concern.

Be discerning about who you follow and why you follow. My ex- husband was lacking in moral integrity to say the least. He shared with me that members of a well known back in the day gospel group that did a concert in a nearby city solicited chosen women to come to their hotel rooms after the concert. One of the ex-husband’s girlfriends detailed to him all that she experienced with the lead singer of the gospel group so he thought it was fascinating to share this information with me and add that all the members of the gospel group were married. Unfortunately our culture has slipped into a done in the dark …mentality. If Black people held our people accountable we would be better at dealing with the things that are not right that go on in our communities.

I think you missed everything he said. He admitted that he was of the mindset to attract girls through being a musician. He thought that by being on tour with gospel artists he would be safe from worldly influences so he desired to live right but when the girl told him all the tea it literally opened his eyes to the fact that gospel artists are the same as secular artists. Also he never said he was better than anyone nor is he making it seem as if he is. This is his admission of being HUMAN and susceptible to fleshly desires. As far as it goes to being stiffed in pay from the artist he has all right to be upset. If you do work for someone and they agree to pay you but they DON’T then your anger is justified. He also showed restraint by not naming them because he has all rights to do that as well because it calls out poor business practices on the artists behalf which is ungodly as well.

I'm glad you didn't mention the name because it's reminder for all of us Christians to use discernment.
