Gospel singer Kim Burrell, who finds herself in hot water over a viral video of her recent comments suggesting churchgoers were “ugly” and disparaging those of low means, said in a new statement, “If anyone was offended” by her controversial commentary, “I apologize.”

Grammy-nominated gospel star, Kim Burrell, after insinuating that some church folks might be ugly, is drawing criticism.

Kim Burrell is rightfully celebrated as one of the most gifted Gospel vocalists in the world— a role model to other singers, in fact. But she recently set a bad example by openly criticizing one songstress to build up another. She said Le’Andria Johnson is a better songster than Fantasia Barrino.
