Kandi Burruss seemed to ruffle up the feathers of some Bible- thumpers and gospel music fans this weekend after she debuted her new single, “Stay Prayed Up” on last night’s episode of Real Housewives Of Atlanta. She snagged gospel great Marvin Sapp for the inspirational track where she sings the lyrics:
"I stay prayed up, that gets me by, That’s how I made it through my darkest times. Yeah, I’m a sinner and that’s no lie, Thank God my prayers are heard because he knows I try"
Although the song shot straight to Number 1 on the Itunes Gospel charts after the show, it has received tons of criticism from people who lead perfect lives (sarcasm)…who feel as though Kandi is the last person who should be singing a gospel record since she has a very popular sex toy line and openly talks about sex during her weekly web stream segment Kandi Koated Nights.
Kandi took to her Facebook to address the criticism and posted:
I knew when I decided to do it that I would be criticized. That’s to be
expected. I'm a single mom that had a child out of wedlock, I speak openly about sex on #KandiKoatedNights, I have #BedroomKandi, etc… I’m very honest about who I am. My great grand father & my grandfather were Bishops in The Church of God Holiness. I believe in God but I have always struggled with the rules of the church just like a lot of people. The song “Stay Prayed Up” is like a testimony for me. Hopefully people with a similar struggle can relate.
