Marvin Sapp Says He Received Death Threats After $40K Donation Demand From Congregation

Marvin Sapp speaking on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show on Monday (March 31), the Gospel musician asserted that he has received death threats in reaction to a clip where he demanded church attendees donate a total of $40,000. Within the conversation, the 58-year-old reflected on the moment — which originally occurred in August 2023 — and admitted that he might share a little blame for the negative response to the video. The event was held at a national church conference in Baltimore not his local church — and he claims that the funds were directed toward the conference budget “People took issue with my tone, and looking at the video, maybe I was a little more assertive than I should have been, and I can apologize for that,” the Bishop explained, denying claims that the church doors were locked. He continued to detail how the entire ordeal has impacted his life, his church, and his children. “People have called my church and cussed me out. My staff are afraid because I’ve received death threats,” Sapp elaborated. “People have come to our campus. They have come to my church to try to cause problems, issues, (and) challenges.
