Dante Bowe Returns to the Stage After Maverick City Music Split, Explicit Instagram Selfie

Bowe added, “The trials are not in vain. Nothing is wasted. Nothing’s in vain.”

“God oftentimes prepares us for the journey,” Bowe said. “I feel like everything I’ve gone through and everything I’m going through—it’s important. It’s very, very relevant to my destiny and my future and my purpose. In those dark seasons, [that’s] when you really see the light and when you really get revelation and new vision and new strategy and new approaches to life.”

Bowe shared how he grew closer to God over the last few months following the announcement.

“I just feel like I never shut the door on God. I kept the door wide open, because I need him more in those seasons than ever I needed him,” Bowe said. “You know, when I’m just on the mountaintop—you know what I mean? I always need him, but I just think I ran to him, you know, faster.”

GMA Debuts Bowe’s New Single

Bowe debuted his new single “Hide Me” during an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” earlier this month (Jan. 13).

Reflecting on the lyrics of the song, Bowe shared that his new single was “created in the middle of a storm, and God just revealed to me that he is in control of the storm, and I found a deeper Dante. I mean, I found a stronger Dante. God showed me that while I’m weak, he’ll be the strong one. He’ll be my strength in the middle of weakness.”

Bowe’s new single, which was then played in the middle of New York City’s Time Square, says, “Can’t take my future, or my family. Sin’s a robber who wants everything. Looking on the brighter side, I can’t believe you’re still alive. You hide me; I think it’s gonna be alright; my enemies won’t survive. Under Your shadow. Hide me, hide me. I’m under your wing. Hide me, hide me.”

Nude Instagram Story Surfaces Following Maverick City Music’s Split With Bowe

The same month Maverick City Music announced they were “pausing” their relationship with Bowe, the singer posted a video of himself and some friends singing along to Bad Bunny’s “Después de la Playa” on a party bus—a song talking about getting a girl “wet” in his bed.

Although Maverick City Music hasn’t released any details as to the specific behavior that caused them to part ways with Bowe, some fans have speculated that the Bad Bunny incident could be the cause.

Another possibility is an Instagram Story that were captured, saved, and sent to polemical news site Protestia shortly after Maverick City Music made their announcement regarding Bowe. According to Protestia, the Instagram Story shows Bowe taking a selfie in front of a bathroom mirror wearing nothing but a white tank top, which he had rolled up over his chest.

Protestia published cropped images of Bowe’s Instagram Story. ChurchLeaders reached out to Protestia to confirm that the image of Bowe was real and was shown a slightly less cropped image, which erased any speculation as to whether Bowe was wearing any clothing below his waistline.
