Ellen DeGeneres has banned gospel singer Kim Burrell from appearing on her popular daytime show.

The singer was due to appear on the show to perform a duet with Pharrell Williams. Burrell made headlines recently when she was captured preaching on camera. The 44-year-old referred to "the perverted homosexual spirit" during her sermon. In a later video she said: "I love you and God loves you but God hates the sin in you and me." "To every person who is dealing with the homosexual spirit, that has it, I love you and God loves you but God hates the sin in you and me. Anything that is against the nature of God.” Ellen announced that Burrell would not be featuring on the show with a simple tweet. https://twitter.com/TheEllenShow/status/816356807857684480 The news has been well received by fans. https://twitter.com/carolinedries/status/816398420264919040 https://twitter.com/BlackGirlNerds/status/816474940102889473 https://twitter.com/ColeLedford11/status/816357804818763776 Burrell is currently working with Pharrell on the song I See Victory from the soundtrack of the film Hidden Figures.
