Last night at the Houston version of the  ‘Don’t Matter Tour’, popular music producer, singer and song writer August Alsina featured Gospel music powerhouse Tasha Cobbs in song.

Recall that Tasha Cobbs has been under fire for mingling with the ‘Unsaved’ most prominent of it all being her featuring Rihanna in a her latest album Heart Passion Pursuit. August Alsina is a secular artist, who is signed to Def Jam, with a long history of ‘Unsaved’ practices, if we may use that word. He has not been in talking terms with his mother for tow years now, but this tour saw that change.

He brought his mother on stage at the Houston concert and made up with her. August was hugging and kissing his mother as he sang “Make it Home” to her. He admitted not too long ago that he is dealing with a liver disease. This was the perfect mother and son bonding moment for the audience at the concert to witness. From all that is happening in this concert, it seems as thought Alsina has found faith.august alsina

Many of Tasha Cobbs’ colleagues have also praised her for the bold steps of wadding in the secular entertainment water despite crticisms from church folks. In a social media post Isaac Caree has lauded her approach to evangelism. Here is what Isaac Caree had to say;

And THIS is why I rock with @tashacobbsleonard all day everyday! She’s on assignment by God! Never looking to be “put on” but because of the favor on her life… people come find her! #PERIODMy life & perspective change when God connected us! I let go of a lot of things and people because of the wisdom she’s poured into me! In the meantime I’ve gained meaningful lifelong relationships that add value to my life! I’m so proud that she doesn’t allow haters, negative comments, envious colleagues derail her from her assignment! Everybody double tapping your post and watching your post DON’T LIKE YOU! She knows that and she taught me that… thank you for inspiring me! I’m down with you & @musikdr like 4 flat tires! And you guys know I want NOTHING in return! Love you!

Others like Travis Greene, Jonathan Nelson have also extolled her spirit of accommodating people despite who they are or whether they are saved or not.

Always covering you @augustalsina!!! Thank you for exposing so many to our Savior Jesus Christ whom they may have never met if you didn’t dare to do something different!!! You know we got you! #JesusIsHealing #DontMatterTour @musikdr #heartpassionpursuit
