Self-styled prophet Talent Madungwe has weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding the Kingdom World Tour, featuring Maverick City and Kirk Franklin.
In a bold statement, Madungwe declared that artists who have withdrawn from performing on the tour are “not holy.” This comes after several gospel artists, including Takesure Zamar, Annatoria, Tembalami, and The Unveiled, pulled out of the tour for undisclosed reasons.
The controversy gained momentum after Kirk Franklin’s performance with Will Smith at the BET Awards, which sparked heated debates on social media, with some labeling the performance as “unholy” and “satanic.”
Madungwe took a swipe at the withdrawing artists, suggesting that their decision was motivated by financial struggles rather than moral convictions.

He argued that if they deemed Kirk Franklin’s actions as unholy, they should also decline any financial compensation.
Madungwe’s comments have ignited a firestorm of debate, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on the matter.
While some agree with Madungwe’s sentiments, others have criticised his approach, calling it insensitive and judgmental.
As the conversation continues to unfold, one thing is certain – Prophet Talent Madungwe has once again stirred the pot, leaving many to ponder the intricacies of faith, morality, and the role of money in the music industry.
