Kim Burrell doesn’t seem to like sharing his spotlight! The singer recently encountered a crowd at church who tried to sing along to her performance, and social media is interrupting the clip. 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 repeatedly looks at her phone, apparently at the lyrics of the song. Then, as other voices in the crowd agreed, Kim interrupted herself.
“You guys want me to get beat up and tell you to let that mask work for you,” Burrell joked. “Please let me sing my song tonight, I have a purpose…give me a round alone. Can I have this?
She followed up with another joke before returning to her performance. It appears that audience interaction took place at the first ‘Brothers Standing On Business’ gospel concert on September 21st in Brooklyn, New York. Burrell announced its plans to headline the event in May. Watch the moment unfold below.
Kim went viral for a similar moment in January
As mentioned, Burrell came under fire earlier this year after reaching out to a congregant who wanted to sing with her. At the time, she was singing the hymn ‘Thank You, Lord’ at a church service and interrupted herself to silence the backing vocals. Let this mask work for you. I’m singing alone”, Burrell said. That’s where the “mask” joke came from in his recent performance. She later addressed the backlash by suggesting that she sometimes acts as a singer and prophetess.
“Sometimes when I perform publicly, everyone doesn’t understand the situation I’m acting in, they just see me as Kim, the singer who isn’t being ‘the singer,’ who isn’t always the singer. I am the preacher, I am the person with the prophetic gift”, she stated.
