Singer/songwriter Kelly Price went on a social media rant yesterday about “church bigotry” after she says she was invited to perform at a gospel expo and was criticized for her choice of music.
Price says that she was invited to perform at the Indiana Black Gospel Expo Showcase and her song choice? … her remake to Shirley Murdock’s hit 1986 song “As We Lay.” Now if you’ve heard the song before then you would know that it basically talks about infidelity. Well the church folks ain’t like it too much and decided to drag her all over social media.
Well the Grammy nominated artist took to Instagram yesterday to explain that she was never supposed to perform on the Gospel stage in the first place but due to some sort of mixup she ended up on the stage anyways.
