Maverick City Music is undergoing a major shift as two of its most prominent voices, Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine, have officially announced their departure from the collective. The news has stirred conversations across the gospel community, with fans expressing both surprise and support for the two worship leaders.
Chandler Moore explained that his decision to step away came after deep reflection and prayer. He described the move as “bittersweet,” saying he wants to focus on creating music that speaks more personally to people — songs that help listeners feel understood, human, and less alone.
Naomi Raine also shared that her exit came after much prayer and consideration. She expressed gratitude for her journey with Maverick City Music, calling it a life-changing experience that shaped her both spiritually and artistically. However, she believes it is now time to follow a new direction that aligns with her personal calling.
Their departure comes amid reports of internal challenges within the collective. Chandler Moore recently filed a lawsuit against his former management and Maverick City leadership, citing issues surrounding royalties and ownership of music rights. While the case is ongoing, both artists have maintained that their decision to leave was guided by peace and purpose, rather than conflict.
As founding members, Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine played key roles in building Maverick City Music’s global success. They helped create some of the group’s biggest hits, including “Jireh” and “Promises,” songs that have touched millions around the world.
Despite their exit, fans remain hopeful that the duo will continue to bless the world with powerful music. Both have hinted at pursuing solo projects and collaborations that reflect their evolving artistic journeys.
Maverick City Music has yet to release an official statement about the departures, but the gospel community continues to celebrate the incredible legacy these two artists leave behind.
