Shockwaves in Gospel Music: Chandler Moore Sues Maverick City CEO Over Alleged Financial Misconduct
In a stunning turn of events, Grammy-winning gospel artist Chandler Moore has reportedly filed a lawsuit against his former manager and Maverick City Music CEO, Norman Gyamfi, alleging serious financial misconduct and breach of trust. According to court filings, Moore claims that significant discrepancies were discovered in the management of his earnings, royalties, and intellectual property rights during his professional partnership with Gyamfi. The suit accuses the Maverick City co-founder of mishandling funds and contracts tied to Moore’s music career, prompting the artist to seek legal redress after what he described as “deeply troubling findings.”
The lawsuit comes just weeks after Moore and fellow worship leader Naomi Raine publicly announced their departures from Maverick City Music, citing a desire for fresh beginnings and renewed focus. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Moore reflected, “These last two years I’ve been locked in on what really matters… it’s been scary at times, but full of fresh vision and real excitement about the future. With that, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to end my relationship with Maverick City Music.” His statement, which at first seemed purely artistic, now carries a new weight as details of the legal dispute unfold.
According to reports, Moore’s legal team alleges that Gyamfi’s mismanagement cost the artist millions of dollars in royalties and other financial entitlements. While Maverick City Music has yet to issue an official response, the development has sent shockwaves through the gospel music community, which once viewed Moore and the collective as symbols of unity and innovation in worship. As fans and fellow artists await clarity, this case may not only reshape Moore’s career trajectory but also spark broader conversations about accountability and transparency within the faith-based music industry.
