Ellen Axes Kim Burrell From Show After Sermon on 'Perverted Homosexual Spirit'

Gospel music icon and worship leader Kim Burrell was scheduled to appear on "Ellen."  However, on Tuesday, the show's host, Ellen Degeneres has announced that the singer will no longer be making an appearance.  This is because of a sermon Burrell preached where she condemned homosexuality, of which Degeneres is a self-confessing and high profile lesbian.  

"For those asking, Kim Burrell will not be appearing on my show," Degeneres announced on Twitter just before 1 p.m. 

Burrell was scheduled to sing "I See Victory" from the soundtrack of the new movie "Hidden Figures" with Pharrell Williams on Thursday's show. Both Williams and Burrell had performed "I See a Victory" on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in December prior to the video going viral

Burrell is also pastor of Love & Liberty Fellowship Pentecostal Church in Houston, Texas. In a recent sermon, she warned her church members that if theyare involved in homosexual behavior while they professed to be Christians in 2017 that they would die from it.

Here's the clip of Burrell's sermon that sparked the controversy.
