As we reported here, renowned gospel singer/pastor Kim Burrell came under some serious fire after going on a graphic homophobic rant during a recent sermon.
Once the video of her statements started making its rounds the ‘Try Me Again’ singer quickly tried to clean up the mess with a clarification:
I never said LGBT last night. I said S-I-N and whatever falls in the sin was preached.
Apparently it was too little, too late. As of time reporting members of her faithful following on Twitter and Facebook – many of whom are members of the LGBTQ community – are roasting the revered songstress for her unwelcome remarks. See highlights below:
Amidst the hoop-la producer extraordinaire Pharrell Williams, who is set to appear with Burrell on ‘Ellen’ in January, released a statement:
Kim lashed out a fans who claim they will no longer support her after her rant. Hear her words below:
Your thoughts?
Kim you in danger girl….
??? yaasssssss!!!!
TEARS they are roasting her on twitter y’all! I’m talking no charcoal
God is not the author of confusion and religion is one of the most destructive and oppressive tools that has destroyed many lives started many wars and confused the f××× out of mankind. God didnt write that book men have. Not only to uplift but to control. Not to long ago that book mad it righteous to own people as slaves and look at the effects that has on the world. I use to be a Christian but i had to let that mess go but God made me to be free and experience life on my own terms. F××× religion just be spiritual and listen to God.
So you start your paragraph off with a bible verse. 1 Corithians 14:33? How Sway?
Thats what she said in the video..
These d@mn “Christians” are only concerned with scripture that doesn’t condemn them! What’s even more hypocritical is when they say God is the ultimate judge – well b*tch, why are you doing his job? #GURLBYE
Man it sucks that Kim Burrell is so talented but is so hateful. Anyone who watched her when she was on Sunday’s Best knows this.
Her core audience is the black lgbt church goers.Which still confuses me.
You haven’t went platinum yet, because you sing gospel maam and most gospel artist dont see platinum.
You not winning a grammy,is your A&R,label,and management’s fault not the fans.
If she’s trying to win more consecutive Christian fans over,they are only going to stream or bootleg your music like that demographic does.
The black church community is so stressed and pressed about gays and never the key problems.
Honey the black church community is not stressed about a punk. Most preachers and members walks on egg shells around the gays because they don’t want to lose their choir, organist, praise and worship team or ministers. Most black churches preach feel good messages and prosperity. No one wants to hear the REAL deal anymore which is HOLINESS or HELL! Come up outta that sissy spirit and get RIGHT WITH GOD!!!

if you know so much you would know he never said anything about same s** relation so they never been teaching the real
^^^prime example
I don’t know what bible you read sir or ma’am, but what I do know is that you will not sit up here and try to twist the WORD OF GOD to fit your lifestyle. Infidel.
Actually they are.
None of what your idiotic self said made sense.Black churches and white churches in the last 8 years have made it their busniess to spread hate against the LGBT community. It’s so bad that their missionaries go to 3rd world areas and spread it as well.It’s no ones fault that gays that stay in church continue to put up with people that hate them but their own.
How about you come out of that stone age way of thinking and learn that your religion isn’t followed by everyone.
Everyone doesn’t need a crutch to make it through the day.
Christians are some of the most deluded people on the face of the planet.
Your religion preaches loves and yet,you’re some of the most hateful people yet.
People who mutter and talk to themselves on the regular shouldn’t be taken seriously, they should be commited.
With Christianity’s horrible history and how it was forced on blacks, you have to be an outright idiot to follow it.
The church’s numbers will continue to dwindle and you will stay mad.
How’s that rapture coming? Oh yeah still hasn’t happened?Oh Ok!
Unhappy New Year to you,you psychotic piece of human waste.
You’re highly delusional! We come against that spirit in the house of GOD! Do whatever you please in the world, we don’t care but don’t bring that perversion into the KINGDOM and expect to be treated like some royalty.
Lol what is the correlation of not going platinum though? I can’t wait for her to release another project so she can actually see the decline of her already poor sales.
That part.
This game of ‘respectful’ politics is BS. She knows what she saod and what she meant!!
That’s right! Pharrell got to make sure his coins and that film sou track are secure. I don’t blame him at all.
So, she saying only gays that go to her church (or church in general) are going to hell? But the church gays that liked her catty ways and shade were her main supporters. Idk… but just say what you mean Kim. Folks would respect that more. Don’t back peddle. Just say what oh feeling since you already started.
Exactly why I don’t do the church. Not me!
SO glad Pharrell made that statement! That’s what her ass gets! Happy New Year, Kim, girl…
Hopefully people like her S****** Blonde and Donzou do not make it into 2017
I love you too.
Kim is RIGHT! I’m sick of seeing these sissys parading around in their skin tight suits running up and down the aisles looking for attention! That’s why real men don’t want to come to church anymore because it’s too FEMININE! You don’t see that mess in the Kingdom Hall, Synogogues or Mosques! Church has become a money hungry entertainment center for booty bandits and thirsty thots!

@Donzou chille
Whether I’m Danzou or not the truth needs to be heard across the land. Pick up a bible and stop playing with God!
Bye trash I’m done with you, you’ll throw yourself out along with that bible JESUS WROTE once HE RETURNS from wherever he went
When he comes back, I hope you didn’t eat any shrimp, wear mixed fabrics,eat pork, cheat on anyone, have a kid out of wedlock, steal anything, EVER say anything rude or disrespectful to your parents, drink, have casual s**, have feelings of lust, do a drug, or ACT AS IF YOU HAVE A DIRECT LINE TO GOD!!!! Otherwise, Shut up!!!! NOBODY WANTS TO GO TO CHURCH IF IT’S FULL OF DUMB ASS, Backward thinking jokes such as yourself. Are you done, or are you finished?!? I’d consider you the latter. ??
If no one wants to go to church why is it full of you sissys sashaying around wanting preferential treatment? I don’t care if you can sing or play an instrument, you are LIVING in SIN and are proud of it. God is not an author of confusion!!!
So, why are you on an LGBT supportive blog all in these comments? Are you not confused?! Just because you think something is wrong, doesn’t mean you know Gods exact desires for people? Other than love, why even discuss something you’re apparently not interested in, and appalled by? It only begs questions as to why this ONE “Sin” is so important to you? Infatuated, I guess? I know I don’t care what any of you are doing in your bed!
Who said that homosexuality is the only sin important to me? See that’s the problem with a lot of you gays. You assume the world revolves around you! This topic is about homosexuality so that’s what I’m discussing!
No, we’re not the ones making a big deal about our sexuality.. we just have to keep defending something that’s really not up for debate. You can’t rewire your body to like another s**.. Just like y’all don’t want the same s**, we don’t want the opposite. It’s just a human difference, not some choice that we dreamed up over a boiling pot! It’s pointless to discuss matters that are really bigger than your, our understanding. If every grain of sand and snowflake is singular, why would the human race be relegated to something as basic as heterosexual exclusivity?! The only thing I know is, I was born to be Exactly who I am. As were you.
Nice one pharell distance yourself from her just like the music buying public has all these years
But some of those responses from white gays are racist “Gorilla” etc so really they’re both wrong
Half these ppl never heard of Kim Burrell why is her opinion on anything important to them ?
F*** her p** ass and keep it moving
I had some bacon this AM that’s how I got my revenge
Well that Ellen show is gonna be awkward…
Never heard of her but she sound like one of those illuminati type conspiracists.
If this is the type of hate Christianity installs in people then maybe it’s Christianity that should die in 2017.
I agree. Christianity is filled with contradiction because the Bible was written by so many different MEN with their own opinions and ideas of what “God” is or should be like. So, parts of it teaches love while other parts teach hate. Jews follow the Old Testament while Christians try to figure out a way to follow both the Old and New Testament and end up contradicting themselves or picking and choosing which parts they want to follow and which ones they’d rather conveniently ignore. Kim conveniently ignores the parts that say she shouldn’t even be speaking in church, never mind preaching.
Well she is right about one thing. Y’all don’t buy her music so she really doesn’t have anything to lose.
Why would she talk about Pharrell and his ppl like that though ?! She’s so out of line.
What a fat, passive aggressive, manipulative b****.
Who is she
