40th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards winner has an exclusive conversation with Daily Praise TV, MAJOR. reflected on why this moment means so much:

“People call me an overnight success, but I say it was a long night. To finally get a Billboard Number One with a song about prayer means everything. Prayer is the one gift God gave us to reach Him anytime, anywhere. For that to be the song that got this recognition—it’s amazing.”

“No one’s going to turn down a prayer. We all understand that prayers have carried us through. And at a time when the world has been shaken by unrest, inflation, and uncertainty, this song reminds people: I already prayed for you. That kind of intentionality speaks volumes.”

A Full-Circle Moment at the Stellars

This Sunday, viewers around the world will witness MAJOR. bring “I Prayed for You” to life on one of gospel music’s most prestigious stages—the 40th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards on BET. For him, the opportunity is more than just a performance; it represents destiny fulfilled.

“When I first pursued gospel, it wasn’t easy. Labels told me I was too polished or too big for the genre. Doors closed. But when mainstream opened its doors, I promised to take God with me. To now be invited to the Stellar stage—it’s full circle. It’s God affirming that His promises may look different than we imagine, but they always come to pass.”

MAJOR. is wearing a cap with "Hope Dealer" written on it stands in thoughtful contemplation, hands clasped together, conveying a message of resilience and positivity.

The MAJOR. I Prayed for You Stellar Awards performance is one of the most anticipated highlights of the night.
