Gospel singer Kim Burrell is facing backlash after allegedly calling gay people "perverts" and "sinners" just days before she is scheduled to perform on "The Ellen Show".
A video emerged earlier this week showing Burrell, 44, giving a sermon in which she suggested homosexuals will die in 2017 due to their sins, reported People magazine.
"I came to tell you about sin. That sin nature. That perverted homosexual spirit, and the spirit of delusion and confusion, it has deceived many men and women, and it's caused us pain on the body of Christ," Burrell said, according to the video.
After facing criticism for the comments as the video surfaced online, the singer responded through Facebook Live.
"We're not in a war against flesh and blood. I came on because I care about God's creation and every person from the LGBT and anything else, any other kind of thing that is supporting gay... I never said LGBT last night. I said S-I-N and whatever else falls in the sin was preached," she clarified.
Burrell is scheduled to appear on the talk show of DeGeneres, an openly gay woman, to perform "I See Victory," a song from the film "Hidden Figures", with Pharrell Williams.
DeGeneres, however, has not yet responded to the video.
