"After a video of her calling homosexuals “perverted” during a church sermon emerged late last week, gospel singer Kim Burrell’s scheduled appearance on Thursday’s episode of Ellen has officially been canceled.
DeGeneres confirmed the rumors on Tuesday afternoon, tweeting, “For those asking, Kim Burrell will not be appearing on my show.” The singer was scheduled to perform a track from the Hidden Figures soundtrack alongside Pharrell Williams (who wrote the film’s uniformly excellent original songs), but Gossip Cop reports Tuesday that he will now be “performing alone,” and that DeGeneres “may address the controversy” in a later episode.”*
