Kim Burrell doesn't seem to like sharing her spotlight! The singer recently attracted a church audience who tried to sing along to her performance, and the clip is breaking down on social media. This moment comes less than a year after she went viral for a similar incident.
Here's what happened to Kim Burrell at church
A video shared by The Shade Room shows Kim on stage with a microphone in one hand and a cell phone in the other. In the first few seconds of the clip, she keeps looking at her phone, seemingly at the lyrics of the song. Then, as other voices in the crowd chimed in, Kim interrupted herself.
“You want me to get beat up and tell you to make this mask work for you,” Burrell joked. “Please let me sing my song tonight, I have a goal…give me a spin alone. Can I have that?”
She then made another joke before returning to her performance. It appears the audience interaction took place at the first “Brothers Standing On Business” gospel concert on September 21st in Brooklyn, NYC. Burrell announced her plans to headline the event in May. Watch the moment unfold below.
Kim went viral for a similar moment in January
As previously mentioned, Burrell came under fire earlier this year after giving a speech to a worshiper who wanted to sing with her. At that time, she was singing the hymn “Thank You, Lord” at a church service and paused to silence the backing vocals. Let this mask work for you. I sing alone,” Burrell said. That's where her “mask” joke came from in her most recent appearance. She later addressed the backlash by suggesting that she sometimes performs as a singer and prophet.
“Sometimes when I act publicly, not everyone understands the purpose of my work. They just see me as Kim, the singer, who isn't 'the singer', who isn't always the singer. I am the preacher, I am the person with the gift of the prophetic,” she explained.
