Janelle Monae Checks Kim Burrell + Confirms Kim’s ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ Performance Was Cancelled

TMZ spotted Janelle recently at an airport and asked her about the situation.

When they brought up Kim’s upcoming performance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Janelle quickly revealed that Kim’s performance was axed.

She says:

“I don’t think she’s performing. She’s not. She’s not performing.”

“I’m a huge advocate of the other and I don’t stand for any hate speech or anything that targets our fellow brothers and sisters in a negative way.”

Janelle also got Kim together on a recent Instagram post. She writes:

I shouldn’t even have to post this as you guys should already know where I stand but If you do not pls know I unequivocally repudiate ANY AND ALL hateful comments against the LGBTQ community. Actually I’m tired of that label. We all belong to the same community, a shared community called humanity. And today and tomorrow and the next day I will continue to stand with other like minded people who condemn any and all statements and actions that would seek to deny the basic humanity of our fellow brothers and sisters. We cannot sit Idly by nor will we speak silently when we are confronted with such violence against members of our community. I am personally beyond exhausted by the ignorance and bigotry living in some people. At times I want to punch and I want to slap a lot of people when I read and hear the sh*t that comes out their mouths !!! I will rejoice when folks stop thinking they ARE GOD, Jesus’ assistant, picking and choosing what “sins” are acceptable in the Bible, and using the Bible as a whip! WE can’t afford anymore tearing down of our shared humanity. My advice: If your religion is causing you to spew out words of hate, judge, or look down on others because of who one loves then you need to change it. And fast. If the religion don’t make you are more loving or better person, ditch it. But what do I know. My hope is that we ALL go into this new year considering for one moment that we don’t have all the answers. My hope is that we become more understanding, less judgmental, more tolerate, and more patient with one another. Including me. HAPPY NEW YEAR. ??❤
