#TheSteepleAwards2016The Steeple Awards, Gospel’s newest award show, acknowledges Pastors and Psalmists on all levels. Pastors of mega churches and pastors of smaller ministries are acknowledged together for their great Kingdom work in feeding the hungry, and sheltering the homeless and saving sin-sick souls. Signed, mainstream artists and unsigned, independent artists are honored together for their ministry contributions to the gospel music industry and to the world. In today’s climate of purchasing acknowledgements, we promise that every artist who is known for their ministry commitment in honoring Christ will have their hard work acknowledged without the encumberment of nepotism or favoritism. Pastors and artists are nominated by their congregants, support teams and those who love their ministries. Once nominations are received, the Steeple Award nominations committee researches each nominee by attending services and events, reviewing social media and participating during community service activities.
The Steeple Awards will be in Atlanta this year on March 19th. This awards show will be a gathering place for a night of praise, worship, and honor through the spirit of Christ. The show is being considered “The Biggest Night In Gospel Music”. It is a celebration of Church Leaders and Gospel Artists who has devoted themselves to Christ. Special Invited Guests includes: Tasha Cobbs, Richard Smallwood, Canton Jones, Kelly Price, The Walls Group, Ann Nesby, William Murphy and the cast of Preachers of Atlanta

On Monday (Feb. 1), the Documentary 2 MC was ordered to pay $10 million judgment in a sex assault case, this exclusively reported by Bossip.
Rainey said that last May, while shooting the show, she went out on an after-hours date with the rapper. The woman claimed that she went to a local bar in Illinois where The Game was out of control and drunk and high.
She said that during the night The Game sexually assaulted her on several occasions, including him forcefully reaching his hand inside her dress to rub her bare vagina and buttocks. The contestant explained she never gave him permission to touch her and she felt degraded by the unwanted touching.
