Ellen DeGeneres and Pharrell Talk Kim Burrell Controversy
Ellen to Pharrell No Way I'm Giving Kim Burrell a Platform
Ellen DeGeneres and Pharrell took a strong stand against gospel singer Kim Burrell and her homophobic rant.
Pharrell was supposed to appear with Kim to do their song from the "Hidden Figures" soundtrack -- but Ellen explained why that couldn't possibly happen after Burrell's comments ... which Pharrell summed up as "hate speech."
Ellen and Pharrell had a powerful response for Burrell. The full episode airs Thursday.
Janelle Monae, who co-stars in the movie, told us she won't tolerate Burrell's words either.
