Kim Burrell fans were spun into a frenzy of worry Saturday night (March 4) after GRAMMY-nominated singer-actor Tyrese took to social media to report the Gospel diva was battling an unexpected health scare.

Tyrese frantically called out to his 16.5 million Instagram followers to pray and raise money to help Burrell, his spiritual mentor, with her battle with double pneumonia.

Prior to his announcement, most were unaware of her illness.

“Just three weeks ago mother was in the best of spirits. I just got a call today that brought me to tears stepmother has pneumonia and both of her lungs I’m freaking out I don’t know what to do,” he started the lengthy message. “$15,000 to cover whatever medical bills if you know Kim, you have a relationship with her you can’t donate money that’s fine but just please prayer warriors stop everything you doing and send the most sincere and beautiful prayer for the breakthrough that mama Kim can get to the other side of this unexpected health crisis I am worried I’m in tears.

As the story began to make its rounds, Kim took to her official Instagram to thank Tyrese and her fans for their concern.  Ultimately, she assured them she was doing okay.
