Rapper Gets Suspended By Label For Cheating On Wife?
After the music site DaGospelTruth.com revealed that several gospel artists were having extramarital affairs, Christian record label Cross Movement Records (CMR) announced that it had suspended rapper Da T.R.U.T.H. (whose real name is Emanuel L. Lambert, Jr.).
(For details on the scandal, read ‘Love Triangle Takes on a Whole New Meaning! The Story Unfolds About Tye Tribbett & Da T.R.U.T.H.’)
The Philadelphia-bred rapper’s alleged extramarital affair with the wife of his friend and fellow gospel singer had been the topic of discussion on the gospel rumor mill for several weeks before the Grammy nominee announced his hiatus from the industry.
Da T.R.U.T.H.Da T.R.U.T.H. essentially confirmed the speculation when he posted a statement on his personal Web site, www.DaTruth.net, announcing that he was taking “a sabbatical from music ministry and teaching” due to a “moral indiscretion” in his “personal life.”
CMR has now released a statement announcing that the strict Bible-based music label will not permanently sever ties with Da T.R.UT.H. but would temporarily institute a “suspension of the promotion and forwarding of” of the two-time Stellar Award winner.
The statement continued: “While obedience to the Word of God is the high standard for all who name the name of Christ, for the Christian leader, the standards and the consequences are even greater. We at CMR plead for your prayers for our brother Da Truth whom we sincerely love. We also ask for your prayers for his wife, his family, his Pastor, his Elders and Church during this very hard time in their lives. In addition, we both thank and applaud Da Truth for his letter of confession found on his site, as well as ours. We declare that in Da Truth’s case, in light of all the circumstances, in light of the authoritative stand by which he preached, and in the case of the Christian leader, this should be the commendable example of the responsible servant.”
No word from CMR or Da T.R.U.T.H. on how long the “suspension” or “sabbatical” will be.
Da T.R.U.T.H., who has taken a very public stance against non-Christian music artists – unaffectionately called “secular artists” by churchgoers — is not the first rapper to come under fire from CMR for alleged adultery.
The Ambassador
The label dropped rapper The Ambassador back in May and then posted a statement explaining why to fans.
“It is with much grief, severe disappointment and an overwhelming fear of the Lord that Cross Movement Records is sad to announce that we will be discontinuing the forwarding and promotion of the Artist and Minister, The Ambassador AKA William “Duce” Branch, due to recent findings of moral failure in his marriage. It is CMR’s past, current and prayerfully, future position that living in moral compromise is unacceptable and never allowable in the lives of any of the ministers that we co-labor with. We continue to hold up the teachings of Christ as the standard for all Christians and especially those in Christian leadership and public ministry. Although it is a rare find these days, discipline is still one of the true marks of the true Church.”
Chuuuch! Maybe those niggas can squad up wit mase and hov then form some wutang type movement
But They Stand On A Soap Box Like They do no wrong God Loves All Not Just Christians and how can you judge rappers when you are prone to do the same thing no matter if you do it again i feel u can stand on that sop box again with that same mentallity ya’ll talk but don’t walk like the Messenger being over godly is not godly that’s truth read The Bible,Quran Or Torah and see what you Find Stop Acting Like You Better When we all that know no matter faith are striving for forever now that’s Real Talk!!!!!!
*Singing “Gospel” music, going to church, or “preaching” does not make a person a “BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN.”
JESUS said:
(Matthew 7:13-14)
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and MANY ENTER THROUGH IT. But SMALL is the gate and NARROW the ROAD that LEADS TO LIFE, and ONLY A FEW FIND IT.
(Matthew 15:8)
“These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”
(John 14:15)
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
(Luke 6:46)
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”
(Matthew 7:21-23)
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, “Lord, Lord,” did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
*(The BIBLE teaches):
(Romans 2:21-24)
“you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles (unbelievers) because of you.”
*(1 Corintinthians 5:9-13)
“I have written you in my letter not to associate with s e x u a l l y immoral people (fornicators, adulterers, h o m o s e x u a l s)—not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother (a sister, a “Christian”) but is
s e x u a l l y immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with people like this. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”
(1 Thessalonians 4:1-8)
“Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what INSTRUCTIONS we gave you BY the authority of the LORD JESUS. It is GOD’s WILL that you should be sanctified: that you should AVOID
s e x u a l immorality (s e x outside of marriage: Fornication & Adultery); that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, HE WHO REJECTS THIS INSTRUCTION does not REJECT man but GOD, who gives you his Holy Spirit.”
*(2 Corinthians 13:5)
“EXAMINE YOURSELVES TO SEE WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE FAITH; TEST YOURSELVES. DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT CHRIST JESUS IS IN YOU–UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU FAIL THE TEST?”

I am just learning of the recent events with Ambassador and Da’ Truth.
I think the decisions of Cross Movement in each case are solidly Biblically based and balanced.
Christians are often misrepresented as being critical of “non-Christian” artists, aka “secular artists”. What non-judgmental Christians oppose is not merely that a song is not somehow linked to the Christian faith. What we oppose is any artistic expression that encourages immorality, substance abuse, street violence and other ultimately destructive life choices.
Christians are often misrepresented as saying God does not love any other than Christians. That is a self-contradictory statement. The Bible, in the book of Galatians, says that through faith in Jesus Christ, that is a deliberate decision to believe in the person, life and work of Jesus Christ, we become children of God. In Ephesians it says that this is all by God’s grace, that is absolutely unmerited and unmeritable favor. In I Corinthians it says that while we were still sinners, Jesus Christ died for the ungodly.
Therefore, if you hear any Christian saying that God does not love those who are outside of Jesus Christ, then you can know that they are not speaking in line with the Bible.
On the other hand if you hear a Christian saying that there is no way to have eternal life outside of surrender to the character and agenda of Jesus Christ, they are speaking what is explicitly stated in the Bible.
As to my brother in Christ, Da’ Truth, the Bible is explicit on such matters. A leader is to be held to a stricter requirement because of his or her influence over so many lives. Some factors to be considered are the nature of the behavior, its frequency, the person’s response and submission to restitution and remedial action, and whether it “sticks”. Da’ Truth ‘fessed up openly and quickly and said nothing short of I was wrong and I am sorry. He then embraced the temporary sanction and went on to pull himself off the circuit.
Does this mean he can never preach again? Any parents out there know that at least a few of the things we are most adamant about choices that undid our lives – all too often irreperably. Does this mean that we cannot teach our children? Is a man disqualified from serving in law enforcement that broke the law himself? Is a person who flunked math forever barred from becoming college math professor? And why are AA and NA groups, among others, led by former abusers?
It seems that having been there informs and invigorates one’s commitment to avoidance and intervention.
Those of us who are the kind of Christians that comprise Cross Movement Records do not merely say, “there but for the grace of God go I.” We often “there but for the grace of God remain/return I.”
