The pastor and gospel singer went viral this week after he was seen telling church ushers to "close the doors" while taking up an offering in a resurfaced video

After a resurfaced clip went viral on social media, people accused Sapp of holding the congregation hostage to get donations. He says the clip was taken out of context.

Pastor and gospel singer Marvin Sapp has responded to backlash after a video circulated online showing him ordering the church ushers to close the doors and challenging attendees at a convention to donate $40,000. A viral video from a church service last year shows Sapp demanding his congregation raise $40,000 on the spot.
