Frank Ocean has Kim Burrell as a featured artist on his album Blonde and now his mom wants her to be cut from the record after her anti-gay comments were exposed.

The 29-year-old openly gay singer’s mom Katonya Breaux spoke out on Twitter after the comments spread online.

“Me: Son, can we crop Kim Burrells voice out of your song??” she tweeted. “I mean damn. Hypocrisy and the inciting of hate pisses me off. Opportunistic &?%#€!!”

Kim is featured on the song “Godspeed” on Frank‘s album. She is also heard on the Hidden Figures soundtrack.

Pharrell Williams and Ellen DeGeneres had an open discussion about why Kim Burrell didn’t appear on the show to sing with him.

The 58-year-old host decided to disinvite her after she went on a homophobic rant.

“You were supposed to perform it with a singer, I actually didn’t know her, her name is Kim Burrell,” Ellen said. “She made a statement she was doing a Facebook live and she said some very not nice things about homosexuals so I didn’t feel that was good of me to have her on the show to give her a platform after she was saying things about me. So we’ll let you talk about it.”

Pharrell said, “There’s no space, there’s no room for any kind of prejudice in 2017 and moving on. There’s no room. She’s a fantastic singer, I love her, just like I love everybody else and we all got to get used to that. We got to get used to we all have to get used to everyone’s differences and understand that this is a big, gigantic, beautiful, colorful world and it only works with inclusion and empathy. It only works that way.”

Gospel singer Kim Burrell said some horrible things about gay people in a sermon she aired on her Facebook Live page and now she’s being blasted for her comments.

The 44-year-old singer is featured on the song “I See a Victory” alongside Pharrell Williams for the Hidden Figures soundtrack and she’s set to perform the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on January 5.

At the beginning of the video, Kim appears to suggest that homosexuals will die in 2017.

“I came to tell you about sin,” Kim continues. “That sin nature… That perverted homosexual spirit, and the spirit of delusion and confusion, it has deceived many men and women… You as a man, you open your mouth and take a man’s penis in your face, you are perverted. You are a woman and will shake your face in another woman’s breast, you are perverted.”

After the video started to spread on social media, Kim took to her Facebook Live page again to apologize for her words.

“We’re not in a war against flesh and blood. I came on because I care about God’s creation and every person from the LGBT and anything else, any other kind of thing that is supporting gay… I never said LGBT last night,” Kim says in the new video. “I said S-I-N and whatever falls in the sin was preached.”

DO YOU THINK that Kim Burrell is actually apologizing in this statement?
