Now we should all should know that in order to build someone up, you must not have to tear another person down– apparently gospel artist Kim Burrell missed that piece of advice.
Recently speacking at a church service Kim Burrell shared her feelings about Fantasia possibly being in a movie about Aretha Franklin, while mentionioning Le’Andria Johnson the season three winner of the BET gospel singing competition show Sunday Best and how she prefers her over Fantasia.
While offering support for Le’Andria Johnson, Kim says, “Girl, you got this. You are anointed, you are a chosen of the Lord,” she said about the 36-year-old singer. “The hand of the Lord is upon your life and you’re such a warrior. I was watching her sing tonight and I was just shaking my head. If they’re going to make a movie about Aretha Franklin, if they know a real singer they’ll call you. If they want to do Aretha any kind of justice. Now I like Fantasia, but she ain’t no Le’Andria.”
After those sentiments were voice the aduidence seemed to have a differing opinions. Kim goes on to say, “Why y’all don’t like to tell the truth?” she responded. “Ain’t no way in the world.”
Le’Andria Johnson recently did an Instagram Live video where she let fans know that she was going to a substance abuse treatment facility for 30 days. “I owe it to myself, I owe it to God, I owe it to my kids, my family,” she said in the video. In it, you could see Johnson starting the intake process at the facility, talking with staff, and overall, maintaining a positive outlook despite what she was there for.
