Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Bishop William Murphy had black people (had niggas) dancing to Walking Out and SWAG Surfin in his Atlanta church on NYE 2023.
Now, Murphy is sharing his take on what happened. He said it was an organic moment.
“This wasn’t some manipulated thing that we did trying to go viral. This was prophetic ministry at best that’s been misjudged,” he said.
The dReam Center has been around for 18 years, and Murphy said what people saw on New Year’s Eve is an example of one of the pillars they stand on: to change the world’s expectation of the church. Murphy said some people took 30 seconds of a clip and tried to summarize 18 years.
“Soooo how do these lyrics tie into the word of God again? 🤔🤦🏾♂️. It’s okay not to be perfect, but you have to own up to it, repent daily, and move on. Don’t stand ten toes on blasphemy 🤦🏾♂️. This ain’t it,” another wrote.
However, several are defending the use of the track.
“This is my church and I was there! We had an amazing time and Bishop Murphy delivered a great message for going into the New Year! You had to be there to understand! Dream Center ATL is a wonderful church and Bishop Murphy is a great leader!” one commenter wrote.
While such a festive celebration to ring in the new year would seem innocuous anywhere else, Murphy is catching some heat for playing the song in the house of the Lord – especially since its lyrics include, “I’m on Hypnotiq, exotic/ This Polo on my body/ Got a bad girl beside me/ And her friend right behind me.”
