One of the world's biggest gospel singers Kirk Franklin has accused TBN of cutting his comments on racial injustice when they broadcast his Dove Awards acceptance speech for Best Gospel Artist. In a video posted on Instagram, Franklin said he would stop working with TBN, the Dove Awards and Gospel Music Association "until tangible plans are put in place to protect and champion diversity, especially where people of colour have contributed their gifts, talents and finances to help build the viability of these institutions". Other stars including Lecrae have said they'll join the boycott. Dare Dairo explains why he believes Christians should support the stance Franklin and others are taking
