On Thursday, June 4, 2026, the Church of Pentecost had its ministry to celebrities, “Liquid Service”. The event was graced by a lot of public figures, including both gospel and classical artists.
However, an awkward scene is believed to have occurred at the program that has triggered outrage on social media.
In a video shared on social media, Piesie Esther, who was adorned in a beautiful blue and white outfit, looking quite happy, moved towards Mzbel, who was also entering the church auditorium, all joyous amid dancing.
The gospel artist widely opened her arms to hug Mzbel, but the “16 Years” hitmaker bypassed her, not returning the hug. Piesie Esther quickly moved to her left side, dancing.
The scene has caught the attention of observers, taking to the comments section to lash out at musician Mzbel.
Others claimed it might be a misunderstanding, explaining that the artist might have done that not on purpose.
