Marvin Sapp Turns Controversy into Triumph with New Single “Close the Door”

Marvin Sapp Releases New Single: "Close The Door"

Marvin Sapp recently found himself at the center of online controversy following a misunderstood moment during his offering appeal at the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World 2024 National Convocation. A short video clip of Sapp instructing ushers to “close the doors” circulated widely, sparking backlash across social media and even prompting threatening messages directed toward his church.

In response to the viral misinterpretation, Sapp took to multiple platforms—including:

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, CBS News Texas, and WFAA Fort Worth—to provide context and clarity surrounding the incident

Now, Sapp is reclaiming the narrative and transforming what he calls a “momentary affliction” into a powerful, redemptive message with the release of his new single, “Close the Door.”
