Kelly Price Responds To Backlash After Sending Prayers To Diddy, Social Media Reacts

Kelly Price is clearing up any confusion that left fans baffled about her writing a prayer under Diddy’s recent apology video.

This past weekend, social media users criticized the singer for her response to a CNN video that showed Diddy chasing and assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway.

“It is my sincere prayer that the power of the Holy Ghost overtake you so that you not only have a change of heart but a change of mind and a change of direction. I have seen you at your best and at your worst. I know what you are capable of being when you were at your best despite the seductions of this industry. I want to see you and I want to see you soon too kreate8 this in this business but I need you to pray and I need you to receive from the most high. I need for those prayers to take place sincerely. You are a unique talent, and both sides that represent light and darkness receive you anxiously. Do you know who God is! Lane not until your own understanding but all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path. <3 KP,”

Many fans were confused, with some calling her response “unhinged” while others urged her to “read the actual lawsuit.”

After much backlash, Kelly took to Instagram Live on Sunday to address “those who misconstrued, misinterpreted or just chose to put words in my mouth.”

“I have not spoken about any of this stuff since it’s come out. I don’t stand with anything that is criminal. None of us can unsee what we saw,” she said.

She claimed that she was simply telling him that he needs to do “soul work,” because there’s nothing that a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist can do except give you steps.

“I was basically telling him you got to change your heart, change your mind, and your direction.”

She then ended her video with, “I won’t let anyone call me out for something I didn’t do. I can’t offer redemption, forgiveness or Grace because my name is Kelly, not Jesus,” she said.

“What happens legally is up to the people who have that authority.”

"Christians" like Kelly Price really ruffle my feathers. She make us look bad. Got people saying "this is why I don't trust Christians". This man has done WICKED things to countless people and you are defending him and throwing around Gods name with evil intentions.
