As bad as this seems 1 if the so called 16 year old girl was in on the sting and proposely trying to get him to come over as to get him in trouble this falls into they are the ones being predatory. Now should DJ Evon have done any of this NO but they led him into a trap to get him caught. He knows what he did was wrong because he doesn't want to be seen but shame on some of these predator catchers because they proposely go after people that could fall into their trap. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Now some advice for brothers and sisters. Issue is in some places of the world 16 is legal age of consent many girls that age get married it was quite common in the past that girls would get married around that age. So why now is it seen as wrong as some men his age would marry girls her age in the past. Doe it make it right in our current culture certainly not but it's only culturally/legally wrong why age of consent/ age of maturity. I don't agree with what was done by either party. Why because we have a standard of how we are to confront sin. And we are also to not cause our brothers or sisters in Christ Jesus to sin or violate their conscience. Do I believe the videographers are brothers in Christ probably not but as a warning to those who follow Christ playing these types of games to catch predators ask yourself long and hard if you had that one itchy sin that needed scratching and yiu had a fellow brother in Christ set you up like this then are they truly a brother in Christ Jesus.......?
@@joshuascott3428 But consuming porn can lead you down darker roads. Your mind gets numb to w/e you're watching and you seek something else to get the same "rush". It's kinda like drugs.
@ yes I agree but you’re also saying the same thing people say about violent video games ( iknow many Christian people who tolerate violent content more than sexual).I actually became hooked on violent games trying to quit porn
What saddens me the most about situations like this is knowing nonbelievers will see it and use it to justify why they want nothing to do with Jesus. “All those Christians are hypocrites.” They’re not wrong really, there’s none righteous…no not one. But that’s exactly why we need a Savior. I pray he repents and this is a testimony in the making.
I agree but those are just excuses to turn from God. I like the question I heard when someone asked an atheist, would you blame Beethoven if someone played his music terribly and of course they say no, so why would you blame God if someone represented him badly?
I find it extremely difficult to just let the underage thing slide though. I absolutely agree that there is redemption for anyone but i have 3 girls and to prey upon a young one is deeply pushing it for me.
I am glad you are engaging with this unfortunate content Ruslan. We have to be vigilant of numerous concerns in our Christian communities, and SA / SH should be at or near the top.
The unfortunate part about all of this is this is another situation with somebody who is supposed to represent Christ is taking advantage of vulnerable people in the most perverted, disgusting way possible. People who already aren't believers always wanna say that people from the church are more dangerous than anybody else. This crap just proves their point. God help us.
Luke 12:2-3 Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. A reminder of Jesus’s words should terrify someone out of secret sin
This is my prayer as well. Make no mistake, that light will burn away all lies. It can be an incredibly uncomfortable and painful experience. His sanctification experience may require imprisonment as part of the consequences for his sins. Whatever God requires of this man, I pray He does it to the full for the sake of His glory and this man's eternal soul.
Beware of scammers in the comments saying how they made money and saying of God saved them. When you go to their profile it shows their account was made recently. Report them so unsuspecting people don’t get scammed.
Yeah. It's crazy that YT isn't during anything about this. It's crazy how long these and the 'real fans of. . . ' with frequently obscene pfp. (Though I've seen one the last week or so without it but the same bot behavior) They get a lot of engagement to so there's a history that makes them seem like real people. Then they either scam, trick or incite division or worse. Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day had some a lot of research into this stuff.
@ when I see someone saying how they are blessed making 6 figures and talking about a certain person, then I check all the people talking and it’s always new accounts. I’m thinking it’s one person with multiple accounts pretended and trying to fish for a victim. I always report them and they’re always under Christian youtube channels. It’s sad that this is the world we live in.
Amen, 🙌🏾✨🌸. Glad he was caught. Unfortunate, that this will be a deterrent to some non-believers to approach God in good faith but we pray ✨ for the protection of young and vulnerable people. And this is God doing exactly that. Protecting those we pray for.
Saying you were gay at first, then you say you got a purity ring but cuddling with a 'cute' teenage girl is crazy work my brother. Incredible crazy work.
Absolutely disgusting. Under the jail. Saying "I'm a godly man" is unbelievably foul in this context. I would have more respect for him and his faith if he had just admitted to his awful crime and presented himself to the cops and if they can't arrest him then he should be on a list. Forever. At the very least. Why is it so hard to wave little girls alone? Why?
Sadly here in Colombia (where I live) these things are supper common. I remember not being 13 and older men looked at me while going to school. I wish it was ilegal. I became violent because of that. Tattooed my face, dated girls and did drugs. I thought many times about selling myself but Jesus saved me. He rescued me and now is us against the world and the things that still happen around. I’m still an angry person but I trust in Gods’s faithfulness.
Thank the Lord, I haven't watched pron or m*sturbat*d in years. I most deal with temptation, and the thoughts. When the lustful thoughts come I rebuke them, hold them captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ, when lines of thought come from the enemy that are starting a carnal conversation of temptation I'll cut that short and say, "So what? She's not my wife. Lord rebuke you." But one I say the most to cut these thoughts and temptations short that I've been saying for a while is, "I will never watch pron, I will never m*sturb*te, I will never cheat on my wife." The enemy DOES NOT SLEEP. So it can feel taxing to constantly be combating the flesh and satan, and repenting for lustful thoughts, but remember this: The battle is part if your life on this side of eternity, you and satan and your flesh are gonna be fighting the rest of your mortal life, but God will make it easier, and then it will hopefully end for you in God's eternal gift. Keep fighting. Accept the fight. It's like going to the gym eventually.
Our sin will find us out. Either we bring it to the light or God will expose it in heartbreaking/drastic situations like this. Judgment begins with the house of God. God will not be mocked.
What a shame man. ”For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”“ Romans 2:24 ESV Remember Christians, we are supposed to be imitators of God. We are united with Christ and we must strive to act Christ-like. God have mercy on us
How are people even calling yourself a Christian while looking at porn? For me, it just seems like these people(christians) didnt really repent sincerely and get saved! God delivered me from porn over a year ago, how was it a real deliverance? I was sincere about wanting to be holy! Im tired of people using the label "Christian" when their not living it! 💯
As a man of God I know we should not fall to lust however, if I did or if someone else did we could at least find someone of age that's on the same time we are on. I praise God because I know I sin everyday and honestly it's only by His grace that I don't fall lower than some others so let's not be haughty spirited and just pray this dude gets the help he needs.
This isnt a christian music industry issue. Unless you want me to pretend girls in highschool didnt occasionally have BF's in college... The issue is if you pressed him he didnt think it would be a problem because he honestly doesnt feel like an adult. Doesnt make it right... but trying to pretend the behavior is something outrageous when it routinely happens and we all saw it growing up and ignored it is rediculous.
@@jasonbirchoff2605just because it was common/accepted at one point does not make it right at all. The fact that you’re even going up to bat for this man who claims to be a “godly man” whilst preying on a young girl, is absolutely vile.

You should think about why comments meant to disaude someone from making the mistake to think this is a christian music problem and not actually a culture problem.

Such a sobering and teachable moment for us all, to check our hearts and deeds constantly measuring ourselves against Jesus and seeing how much we come short and NEED Him. Lord help us in our walks. Better life a simple, unnoticed, yet righteous life rather than seek fame in the Lords name and fall like so many others. I pray this soul 💔
Yeah, I had to redo my last half of senior year because of major spine surgery (and already 18), so I freaked out a couple times when a younger classmate made some startling offers . (Different school after surgery). Extra caution in this matter is wise. But also avoid scenarios where escalation can occur. It can help to have clear distinctions on "acceptable"level of physical contact in any relationship (and in this in referring to both adults). And attempts to sneak close to the line are red flags. The best way to survive bad scenarios is to not place self in t the circumstances that can lead to it . Sorry for the wall of text. Just a bit of what I leaned (if somewhat incoherently phrased)
@@Grandwigg Hope you're doing great, kudos to undergoing spinal surgery and still being here. And no presh I appreciate the 'wall of text' I'm clearly redefining my boundaries in both romantic and platonic relationships especially with the opposite sex.🙌🏿
I assume the girl they used as the decoy wasn’t actually 16 because that would be endangering a minor if so. But I still couldn’t watch the cuddling section. I might actually throw up.
@ I figured. I can’t remember how Dateline NBC did their “To Catch a…” I really thought some decoys were younger but law enforcement was there to keep them safe.
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a Husband and a lovely daughter (Jessica), and a stream of income that gets me $44,000 Every month. Plus a new identity - a child of God. Hallelujah!!!
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
“This is not an indictment on their character”… brother let’s call a spade a spade and sin for what it is. I hope righteous judgement follows this and the brother gets some counseling.
Hes talking to her like shes a college grad out on the town celebrating her newly found independence and not a 16yr old at home at her parents house watching rick and morty.
So curious how they find the targets for these tests. Like had they already heard rumors about the DJ and set him up to catch him based on those rumors? Anyone know?
What is going on? I think those in ministry who do this should never set foot in ministry again. They are predators who exploit Christianity for their own fleshly gains. 😢
Let me start out with I acknowledge this is problematic. That said, a large part of why ruslan and others are caught off guard by this is because they are using their brains which have accepted the consequences of being an adult to judge people who havent. I would ask those repulsed to go around to women and men in this age range 20-25 and ask them if they FEEL like an adult. One of the things we lost as a society since we dont really have a comming of age event. Is that transition to fully accepting being an adult gets turned into a gradual change instead of an immediate one. Mix that with the age of consent laws often time starting at 16 and what you have is what you see in this video. I call it out because I think it is not correct to handle this as a standard pedophillic behavior situation. If you want to get rid of this you need to transition kids to adult responsibilities earlier in life. So that they dont feel like they are cosplaying an adult. Without that, the only thing that prevents this from being more widespread is born out of how we form social groups. We tend to stick with the ones we make early in life and ride them through to adult hood. Maybe they get amended in college and work. Unfortunately fame and social media fame in particular blows up this dynamic. Your suddnely no longer limited to the aquiatance and friend circle you know. Since that fame does a alot of heavy lifting in breaking the ice and getting people you dont know to feel like they know you. So my prediction is this will get worse not better.
I’m heartbroken. 💔 I know him. Not well but I had no idea he would do this. I truly believe he had a weak moment and he’s not done anything like this before. We need to pray for him. Not throw more shame than he’s already feeling.🙏🏼 He’s likely to go to jail for a while…
he compartmentalized his sins away from his Christian side. He should've offered all of himself to Christ, sins and all, so that God would confront Him about it instead of the world. God really does respect the boundaries we set but then we also limit what God can do with all our life. Transformation stops when we stop giving it up all to God. God allowed this humiliation to happen, to expose the sin. Let's pray this person gets right with God and allow Jesus to be Lord of all his life
I would rather him be caught before he could do something worse than what could have happened with some actual unstaged scenario. We gotta condemn the sin, but hopefully, he gets the counseling and whatever else he needs since the law is not really in play here.
The situation shows how Faith is dead without works. He may have had faith at first but faith leads to action and obedience. Him talking about Jesus does show that he has heard the gospel and the word, but he life and his choices does not reflect it. Be doers of the Word and not only just hearers of it. James 1:22-25. God does have grace for the man, but obedience is also important too.
So, I spent time in prison for my love of money. Jesus came to me there, so I'm thankful for Him taking me out of the world and putting me into a place I could hear His voice. I feel like people like this also need to have this time to come to know the truth about what they've done. During this time, I got to know a lot of sex offenders. This is an evil like you've never seen.. And their basically regular people. You'd have no idea the horrific things these people are capable of. But it's like that with sins of the flesh. It destroys you from in the inside out, until it spills out into the world and you end up hurting someone else. Before it gets to that place, everyone of us must repent and put Jesus at the forefront of our hearts and minds. Without this, there will be no peace, no healing. Just hurt and death. Romans 8:6
We need better resources and better words for men that struggle with these perversions. Y’all, the fight is hard is hell with all the trauma, stress, rejections, feeling unworthy of love or unattractive. Not an excuse, but we all sin and fall short.
Wow! I didn’t know anything about him but he had a whole interview on the Letz Chop It Up Podcast, which can be seen on UA-cam! Those guys are from Houston and interviewed artists like Tre9, Von Won, and several other Houston Christian Rappers! Definitely not a good look. Just as heartbreaking as what happened with Gawvi and John Crist. Very damaging, it’s very important that we live above reproach and not give cause for people to diss Christianity and call us hypocrites.
Bible doesn't say you can't like or love a 16 year old girl so it is not wrong if someone likes teenage girl therefore, it is not a biblical issue as far as ages are concerned. Secondly, girl came to meet him with her own free will this tells she is smart enough to go out roam around meetup with anyone without her parents permission. He didn't force him on her. She was well aware of what she was doing and who she was trying to establish relationship with so she was equally responsibly in this entire situation.
Are you not familiar with these "catch a predator" operations? That woman was a decoy and not an actual 16 year old. Also defending adults who go after teens is disgusting. They are young and impressionable and need guidance not grown adults seeking sexual relationships with them.
@@las8883 Yes, I know she was a decoy and this was done to trap him into all this. But my statement was about all the genuine cases like such in general. It is not to defend an adult but about to consider both equally responsible. If teens are easily influenced then why they are not influenced by their guardians/elders/parents around them stop them to not have friendships or affairs with adults? Teens must also be held responsible for their actions or their elders if not teens. This will be more effective way to stop such cases to take place cuz teens will be more fearful of the consequences. There is no rational logic in accusation to adult person only when both were equally involved.
Pretty sure he had opportunities to stop this and run away from this temptation as the Bible states….sad situation that he got to this point of embarrassment…..
Married or not, ring or not this is a pedophile ! One thing I don’t like is saying “it’s sad” “it’s brutal” seems you are more concerned about his image instead of the victims. Y’all Christian dudes need to get your act together!
It doesn't matter what race, religion, ethnicity or any other group, there is always a predator among you, sometimes a lot more, don't let the devil trick you into thinking that it's just the churches, you must be vigilant everywhere.
Not gon lie Ruslan you kind of prophesied this lowkey. I remember the video you did covering a bit of Gawvi’s story a few years ago when his moral failure occurred and came to life. I remember you saying that something of that caliber or so would happen again in the Christian hip hop community. Prayers up for Evon and everyone involved.
I have a question. This question is not like this situation. I come from a family thats Puerto Rican heritage…..And I personally wouldn’t do this get married at 16 . But it was normal in my family generations my older family members for example. My aunt Was married at 16 to her first love and only and he was about 5 -7 years older than her .her husband came from a Christian family and she became a Christian after marrying him. Her husband is gone now he passed from Alzheimer. But he always took care of her his children. He truly loved her and in order to marry her he had to ask permission to her family. I know back then like my grandparents for example got married young . and my grandmother was 16-18 and my grandfather was almost ten yrs older. Is this a very controversial thing? Personally I never was interested in older men young adult guys when I was 16. I had crushes on guys my age group btw 14-18 I know this situation is very different because he’s hiding and sneaking to see a young girl for sex. And he’s probably attracted to teenagers. I know this is not a marriage situation. And asking permission to marry a girl that age.

And no presh I appreciate the 'wall of text' I'm clearly redefining my boundaries in both romantic and platonic relationships especially with the opposite sex.🙌🏿
@@IndianaJones44 😂😂
I assume the girl they used as the decoy wasn’t actually 16 because that would be endangering a minor if so. But I still couldn’t watch the cuddling section. I might actually throw up.
They don't use underage girls, just women who look really young.
@ I figured. I can’t remember how Dateline NBC did their “To Catch a…” I really thought some decoys were younger but law enforcement was there to keep them safe.
I will say this though, watching these two’s faces as they engaged the video was priceless. Thank you gentlemen lol 5:33
Zack: "I hope its a purity ring"
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a Husband and a lovely daughter (Jessica), and a stream of income that gets me $44,000 Every month. Plus a new identity - a child of God. Hallelujah!!!
Excuse me for real?, how is that possible I have struggling financially, how was that possible?
The thought of knowing a change is coming just leaves that glimpse of hope. Thank you for this
Kindly let me know more bout this bimonthly thing you just mentioned. Please...
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Big thanks to Mrs Kate Elizabeth Becherer❤️❤️
This is heartbreaking. I couldn't watch the whole thing.
Dark secrets will come to light
Wolf's will be revealed among the sheep
“This is not an indictment on their character”… brother let’s call a spade a spade and sin for what it is. I hope righteous judgement follows this and the brother gets some counseling.
I'm not a big fan of cRap music. What's the name of this pdf file in case my Spotify Christian list suggested him?
Article said he is known as DJ Evon.
@@polarfamily6222 i like tyson james hes hard
He has never had sex. Remember what the bible says, "for it is not good for a man to be alone." Get married young guys !!!
Hes talking to her like shes a college grad out on the town celebrating her newly found independence and not a 16yr old at home at her parents house watching rick and morty.
“Watchdog” content done right
This is so disheartening to see. I know this dude personally and worked with him in shows before. It’s so sad
It’s such a great movie!!
Hey Ruslan you need to talk about Daystar situation and the lamb family covering their granddaughter sexual abuse
Get them out! Into the light!
So curious how they find the targets for these tests. Like had they already heard rumors about the DJ and set him up to catch him based on those rumors? Anyone know?
This is very sad…
Have to be completely delivered from all sin ask God to help. Because God will expose if we are not honest with God. ❤
What is going on? I think those in ministry who do this should never set foot in ministry again. They are predators who exploit Christianity for their own fleshly gains. 😢
Let me start out with I acknowledge this is problematic. That said, a large part of why ruslan and others are caught off guard by this is because they are using their brains which have accepted the consequences of being an adult to judge people who havent. I would ask those repulsed to go around to women and men in this age range 20-25 and ask them if they FEEL like an adult. One of the things we lost as a society since we dont really have a comming of age event. Is that transition to fully accepting being an adult gets turned into a gradual change instead of an immediate one. Mix that with the age of consent laws often time starting at 16 and what you have is what you see in this video.
I call it out because I think it is not correct to handle this as a standard pedophillic behavior situation. If you want to get rid of this you need to transition kids to adult responsibilities earlier in life. So that they dont feel like they are cosplaying an adult. Without that, the only thing that prevents this from being more widespread is born out of how we form social groups. We tend to stick with the ones we make early in life and ride them through to adult hood. Maybe they get amended in college and work.
Unfortunately fame and social media fame in particular blows up this dynamic. Your suddnely no longer limited to the aquiatance and friend circle you know. Since that fame does a alot of heavy lifting in breaking the ice and getting people you dont know to feel like they know you. So my prediction is this will get worse not better.
dude i own and wear the shirt that he's wearing... i feel like i cant wear it anymore
This is sad man 😢
Modern mega church Christian
I’m heartbroken. 💔 I know him. Not well but I had no idea he would do this. I truly believe he had a weak moment and he’s not done anything like this before. We need to pray for him. Not throw more shame than he’s already feeling.🙏🏼
He’s likely to go to jail for a while…
The crazy thing is as Christians, We cannot neglect this guy’s chance for salvation. That just isn’t right of us to do even though……
he compartmentalized his sins away from his Christian side. He should've offered all of himself to Christ, sins and all, so that God would confront Him about it instead of the world. God really does respect the boundaries we set but then we also limit what God can do with all our life. Transformation stops when we stop giving it up all to God. God allowed this humiliation to happen, to expose the sin. Let's pray this person gets right with God and allow Jesus to be Lord of all his life
I would rather him be caught before he could do something worse than what could have happened with some actual unstaged scenario. We gotta condemn the sin, but hopefully, he gets the counseling and whatever else he needs since the law is not really in play here.
The situation shows how Faith is dead without works. He may have had faith at first but faith leads to action and obedience. Him talking about Jesus does show that he has heard the gospel and the word, but he life and his choices does not reflect it. Be doers of the Word and not only just hearers of it. James 1:22-25. God does have grace for the man, but obedience is also important too.
Everybody's holier than thou in these comments
I love it! Iy resembles a coffin, desth to the old man. New creation in Christ 🎉
Zack is hilarious 😭😭
5:32 bros face 😂😂😂
man....this was tough
Matthew 7:22-23
Bro Is One Of Those TD JAKES DJ’s 😢
So, I spent time in prison for my love of money. Jesus came to me there, so I'm thankful for Him taking me out of the world and putting me into a place I could hear His voice. I feel like people like this also need to have this time to come to know the truth about what they've done. During this time, I got to know a lot of sex offenders. This is an evil like you've never seen.. And their basically regular people. You'd have no idea the horrific things these people are capable of. But it's like that with sins of the flesh. It destroys you from in the inside out, until it spills out into the world and you end up hurting someone else. Before it gets to that place, everyone of us must repent and put Jesus at the forefront of our hearts and minds. Without this, there will be no peace, no healing. Just hurt and death. Romans 8:6
A lot of these dudes definitely get arrested depending on what both parties say before meeting.
We need better resources and better words for men that struggle with these perversions. Y’all, the fight is hard is hell with all the trauma, stress, rejections, feeling unworthy of love or unattractive. Not an excuse, but we all sin and fall short.
"I'm a godly man"!?!?!?
You should get Alex from Predator poachers on here. I’ve been a long time supporter of them.
16 v 25 is not the worst thing and can be forgiven. It’s called jailbait for a reason, any man could get caught but this happens all the time
Disgusting.
NO! Can we still listen to Holy Faith to support KTL and Isaiah Robin?????????
Wow! I didn’t know anything about him but he had a whole interview on the Letz Chop It Up Podcast, which can be seen on UA-cam! Those guys are from Houston and interviewed artists like Tre9, Von Won, and several other Houston Christian Rappers! Definitely not a good look. Just as heartbreaking as what happened with Gawvi and John Crist. Very damaging, it’s very important that we live above reproach and not give cause for people to diss Christianity and call us hypocrites.
Bible doesn't say you can't like or love a 16 year old girl so it is not wrong if someone likes teenage girl therefore, it is not a biblical issue as far as ages are concerned. Secondly, girl came to meet him with her own free will this tells she is smart enough to go out roam around meetup with anyone without her parents permission. He didn't force him on her. She was well aware of what she was doing and who she was trying to establish relationship with so she was equally responsibly in this entire situation.
Are you not familiar with these "catch a predator" operations? That woman was a decoy and not an actual 16 year old. Also defending adults who go after teens is disgusting. They are young and impressionable and need guidance not grown adults seeking sexual relationships with them.
@@las8883 Yes, I know she was a decoy and this was done to trap him into all this. But my statement was about all the genuine cases like such in general. It is not to defend an adult but about to consider both equally responsible. If teens are easily influenced then why they are not influenced by their guardians/elders/parents around them stop them to not have friendships or affairs with adults? Teens must also be held responsible for their actions or their elders if not teens. This will be more effective way to stop such cases to take place cuz teens will be more fearful of the consequences. There is no rational logic in accusation to adult person only when both were equally involved.
He should have been arrested
This guy needs Jesus.
The guy in the camo hat and pants is trying so hard to be cool.
Why do you think that he is trying to be considered cool?
@ the way that he’s demanding being the center of attention throughout the entire video.
@ “IT’S NOT FUNNY! DON’T LAUGH! DON’T LAUGH!”
He’s just clearly trying to be the center of attention when it’s completely unnecessary.
@@TonySiragusa99 I thought that he was intentionally bypassing "cool" and aiming for "noticed."
Pretty sure he had opportunities to stop this and run away from this temptation as the Bible states….sad situation that he got to this point of embarrassment…..
There is zero grey area hear
Need people to stop watching porn
Guys chill...he is a Christian DJ...like that is even a thing
Married or not, ring or not this is a pedophile ! One thing I don’t like is saying “it’s sad” “it’s brutal” seems you are more concerned about his image instead of the victims. Y’all Christian dudes need to get your act together!
When people cross to this level they rarely change. This is a very dangerous man!
It doesn't matter what race, religion, ethnicity or any other group, there is always a predator among you, sometimes a lot more, don't let the devil trick you into thinking that it's just the churches, you must be vigilant everywhere.
Sounds like entrapment me to me
That’s crazy… he created one of my favourite Christian songs😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He's not filming it's a PS4
Not gon lie Ruslan you kind of prophesied this lowkey. I remember the video you did covering a bit of Gawvi’s story a few years ago when his moral failure occurred and came to life. I remember you saying that something of that caliber or so would happen again in the Christian hip hop community. Prayers up for Evon and everyone involved.
I know what he did is wrong but tempting people into these kinds of stuff is also very wrong. It bad on both sides. God sees both intentions.
lol Zach can make a serious situation funny “he was trying to protect her”
I have a question. This question is not like this situation.
I come from a family thats Puerto Rican heritage…..And I personally wouldn’t do this get married at 16 . But it was normal in my family generations
my older family members for example. My aunt Was married at 16 to her first love and only and he was about 5 -7 years older than her .her husband came from a Christian family and she became a Christian after marrying him. Her husband is gone now he passed from Alzheimer. But he always took care of her his children. He truly loved her and in order to marry her he had to ask permission to her family.
I know back then like my grandparents for example got married young . and my grandmother was 16-18 and my grandfather was almost ten yrs older. Is this a very controversial thing?
Personally I never was interested in older men young adult guys when I was 16. I had crushes on guys my age group btw 14-18
I know this situation is very different because he’s hiding and sneaking to see a young girl for sex. And he’s probably attracted to teenagers. I know this is not a marriage situation. And asking permission to marry a girl that age.
