Gospel hitmaker Kim Burrell isn’t exactly kicking her new year off in the best of lights.

After making headlines for a homophobic sermon where she directly stated insinuated homosexuals will “die in 2017,” the revered singer/songwriter has been fielding attacks from media, supporters, fans, and friends.  Even friends Yolanda Adams and Pharrell Williams have spoken out against her rant and branded it “hate speech.”

Ironically, despite making her stance on homosexuality well known in the sermon, Burrell – who has worked with Frank Ocean among a number of other LGBT stars – is set to appear on ‘Ellen’ in the coming days.  Well, that is, unless a recently ignited petition has its say.

A day later, the ‘Feelin’ So Good’ songstress must really be feelin’ herself as she was caught “liking” a photo that slammed Mimi’s shambolic NYE showing.  The move makes some believe the beef between she and Carey, which many thought had cooled, may still be hot as ever…nearly 15 years after it began.
