Gospel Community Comes For Wendy Williams' Wig After The Clark Sisters Diss

The Gospel community is not too happy with some recent comments that Wendy Williams made about The Clark Sisters, during one of the host's recent shows.

Earlier this week, Williams was discussing Snoop Dogg's new Gospel album and how well it's been doing. But, she soon began comparing the Doggfather's project to work that the infamous Clark Sisters have done in their decades-long careers, which dates back to the 1960s. “If I were the Clark Sisters, would I be mad that Snoop got to number one?” she asked her audience. “The Clark Sisters, they’ve been doing gospel forever, have they gotten a number one? Oh well, step up your game.”

After hearing these words, Gospel singers voiced their disapproval of Williams' diss for the legendary artists. Kierra Sheard -- who's mother is one of the Clark Sisters, Kirk Franklin, newly engaged Michelle Williams and more have defended the group.

“These women have done more than number 1 on the charts,” wrote Sheard. “Their lives have matched what they sing about. Somehow they’ve managed to sing about #Jesus in one of the smallest, but most effective genres of music, have influenced masses and influenced those who influence the masses…Not to mention those they’ve mentored and managed to genuinely pray and show concern for you, when YOU passed out; while the world waited for your demise. Be careful who you come for. Not everyone is worth it!! This is a different caliber of people. We pray you have peace of mind and successful rest.”

Kirk Franklin added on Twitter, “I would be nothing without the CLARK SISTERS. I’m not even in the same category. I’m just now getting to where they started. Salute.” Check out the Gospel community coming for Williams' wig below.
