Gospel Bird: Kim Burrell Dragged For Pompous Pulpit Talk Online

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paras Griffin / Getty A video of gospel singer Kim Burrell being highly condescending and rude in a speech at a church has made the rounds on the Internet, sparking a wave of backlash that focused on her problematic past.The singer delivered a sermon to parishioners at the Kingdom City Church on Sunday (July 17th), part of which was captured on video. In the clip, Burrell speaks about “choosing up” when choosing friends and partners. “Sometimes, before we get friends, we have to do an interview: How long you been broke? How many times have you changed your name on your light bill?” Burrell said in a jesting tone. She’d continue on in a disparaging way. “I haven’t chosen anyone to be ugly yet. God is good. God is great. You all look great. Most of yo...

But the most eyebrow-raising part of the discussion came when Miami asked him if it was true that he had sex with his cousin, which he talked about via Instagram in 2015, according to MadameNoire.

When you have that faith, it is str...
