Pastor Mike Jr. slams Tye Tribbett

 

Eight-time Stellar Award winner Pastor Mike McClure Jr. (PMJ), had to tug the plug on one of his gospel bandmates after he called the church “crazy” during an interview earlier this week.

The 38-year-old founder and senior pastor of Rock City Church in Forestdale, Alabama, took to social media to call out Tye Tribbett by name and inform him that not only were his comments irresponsible, but that he wouldn’t win the Grammy-nominated singer. without your support.

“I heard Tye Tribbett’s interview on The Breakfast Club this morning and I understand what he was trying to say. However, he made a very irresponsible statement on the wrong platform. He said, “The church sucks,” PMJ said in a recording circulating on The Jasmine Brand.

“How can you stand on a national platform and completely throw under the bus the very institution that made you who you are?” he then asked.

The “Victory” singer said in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious hosts this conversation that he doesn’t need anything to distract him from God as his “source” and that every part else ought to be a “resource” in pointing people to God.

DJ Envy asked about the “pastor” trend where everyone desires to be a preacher and begin a church, when Tribbett shared his belief that the church is a “religious system” and its “structure” is “stupid.”

“I do not subscribe to this service, even though I grew up with it and benefited from it,” the recording artist said. “But I found out that God is not a church, and when I realized, ‘oh, God is not a church,’ for me – you know, it means I’m not from the street – that was a huge event for me.”

Charlamagne then referred to Acts 17:24, which states that “The Lord of heaven and earth doesn’t dwell in man-made temples,” to which Tribbet asked, “How often do you hear this sermon?”

According to a Camden, New Jersey resident, pastors make people care more about the identity of a church member than about serving and loving people, and cite this as the reason he left the church. “The church should focus on people, but it is the people who care about the church.”

PMJ, who recently performed at the WOW Gospel Live event in Savannah, Georgia, believes Tribbett missed the mark by trying to put his opinions ahead of responsible service.

“You had the opportunity to shine God’s light… to push people back to a place of healing, but instead you wanted to feel peace. You could have been the light. You could tell people, “Man, falling in love with God was the neatest thing I ever did and I discovered the right church.” Go and find the right church,” he said.

Adding: “There is no telling who will accept this statement and leave a church that could have truly impacted their life.”

People move on social media he believed that PMJ was defective.

“This ‘reprimand’ only proves his point! Instead of listening to his words… you took up arms in defense of the institution! You are this system and I promise it won’t save any souls!” one person wrote.

“And here we go!!!! Smh!!! More divisions among brothers in Christ!!!” another person wrote. “He could have called or had this conversation in private!!! This is a mess!!! Tye never said the church sucked. He said that the SYSTEM… The institution of the Church is useless… But OK!!! I pray people watch the entire interview and LISTEN to understand and not respond!!!”

One person agreed with PMJ, writing in part: “This is definitely irresponsible. Some lost souls MAY still need to associate with other believers to strengthen their walk with Christ, and if they reach the point in their lives that they decide to leave the church, they will have all the tools necessary to do so.

The preacher-turned-singer confessed in his remarks that his church is not perfect and neither is anyone else’s.

“There is no perfect church, just like there is no perfect restaurant… there is no perfect radio show. Everyone fails,” he said, before adding, “I literally met you at a church meeting. You changed my life forever. The Church is not stupid.”

PMJ, whose real name is Michael McClure, grew up in the church, his father was a pastor and his grandfather was civil rights leader Bishop Calvin Woods.

With his old-school heritage and newer way of reaching people, he amassed a following that made his church one of the most popular in Birmingham and helped him gain over 830,000 followers on Instagram alone, where he shares inspiring words with those who are looking for a message inside or outside the church.

He said God told him he would be “an interpreter for the generation that was leaving the Church,” and with that guidance he started his church in 2009 with ten people. In two years, his church has grown from just a double-digit number to thousands, and now he is spreading his message around the world, redefining church “systems” as his father and grandfather knew them.

Paul Wall joins forces with Gracie’s Corner to get a fresh remix “Wheels on the Bus” and this is BOP

As a parent of 4 children and three who’ve 10-i-fund, my favorite music genre at this moment of my life are jams suitable for the age, which I can listen to without the desire to stab my eyeballs. So when “Gracie’s Corner” struck my awareness a few years ago to fill this void (and appreciating parents around the world) I knew that we found gold.

For example, while “Happy Birthday” Stevie Wonder will all the time be a birthday song of the black community, at this point he is commonplace “Gracie’s Corner” version at birthday parties For those of us who went to see “sinners” at the opening weekend.

“Gracie’s Corner” for many who have no idea (or should not have children) is a YouTube channel for youngsters. According to their side, YouTube provides “a combination of educational, funny and encouraging songs for children from various environments. Come and dance with the game when he chooses a funny journey with family and friends!”

More precisely, they take some rhymed rhymes, which everyone knows and love and put a bit on it. Which leads us to the reason behind the season. If you have not heard the “Gracie’s Corner” version “Wheels on the bus” You cannot have black children. Until now, heavy bass, hi-hat jam trap has 111 million views. Yes, you read the right 111 million views. These wipers are Swisków. Let’s say, Issa Bop.

Well, because people from the headquarters of “Gracie’s Corner” don’t play truthfully, they got here out and got Paul Walla-Tak, he has Houston rap labels, Swithahouse Paul Wall, “Master of the People”-to drop a part of what is dirty south.

Listen to me. I don’t understand how this cooperation was created by Paul Wall and “Gracie’s Corner”, but whoever played this thing must conduct seminars on synergy and creative cooperation for the whole family. I hope that this person is liable for planning a family reunion, because in that case, it is not only city trips and cooking in the city park for this family. The undeniable fact that the whole poem by Paul Walla feels like the one who was sitting, which could fit on the slow rhythm album of Mike Jones, or mainly every song during which Paul Wall has ever appeared – but still works for BOP of this children – is a nasty work of the most beautiful diversity.

Listen, I do not know if you may have a reason to pull up “Gracie’s Corner”, but in case you do it, move quickly to listen to this “wheel on the H-Town bus-to-remiks” with Paul Wall. And in case you didn’t know that “Gracie’s Corner” exists earlier, consider your life, and now you see how the life of oldsters will look and the way it differs from a lonely life. Because now I hit this remix “wheels on the bus” in a automobile with my children. This, my friends, is for all wines.

Indeed, the wheels are rolling.

Published

André 3000 is currently and has been for the most a part of the last 30 years of one in every of the leaflets dressed at the planet. Since placing the whole generation of young black men to turban in stores with cosmetics supplies to blond wigs and kilos, there may be nothing that Atlien cannot break away.

So when he hit a haunted blue rug during the MET gala in 2025 in the entire piano on the back, even the most lost that they had to cut the thorn on the side of Mrs. Jackson a little bit of slack. By turning a single-piece black outfit with a red hat, which definitely has a specific name, only carrying what I can put on is a designer trash bag-good room one in every of the lithium at a goat level at the level of hip-hop also wore a piano … on the back. Yes. Piano. The entire 88-lake piano. I hope it was hollowed out for ease of movement; André 3000 is just not exactly a spring chicken at the moment. He doesn’t even rap by trading his notators on his famous flute collection.

Now it is extremely likely that me and your, your mother and your cousin, are wondering what can force anyone, and much more so André 3000, to cultivate the piano. Well, the answer to this query lies on Walking Promothal Exparit that André 3000 was at the MET gala. Just before he appeared in the Vogue channel for Met Gala Dwet Photo OP, group chats were in the news that André 3000 dropped the EP entitled “7 piano sketches”, while the biggest fashion night was half of the spring.

And don’t think that 3000 has returned to the bars, “7 piano sketches” is the most literal title of the album I’ve ever heard in my life; This is literally an album stuffed with piano sketches.

As you may see, the art of the album is comparable to the meta gala of the André 3000 outfit. This boy is coooooooold. This latest EP appears almost a 12 months and a half after André 3000 dropped, “New Blue Sun”, through which he began playing the flute, and never tell us more about Susa Screw and the Sasha Thumper crew. Despite the mixed reviews of “New Blue Sun”, this album was nominated for a lot of Grammy Awards during the 2025 ceremony, including the nomination for “Album of the Year”.

When everyone finally ends up talking about Met Gala costumes and a great discovery of Rihanna, prepare for the attack of dialogue about the André 3000 piano album.
