Wendy Williams shades the Clark sisters, then ‘apologizes’

NEW YORK- TV show host Wendy Williams was speaking of Snoop Dogg‘s number one gospel album, Bible of Love, then proceed to slam the legendary sisters and questioned their legacy.

She said, “If I were the Clark Sisters, would I be mad that Snoop got to number one?” she asked her audience, who responded with laughter. “The Clark Sisters, they’ve been doing gospel forever, have they gotten a number one? Oh well, step up your game.”

The shade was not taken lightly by the Gospel community, everyone from Kierra Sheard, Kirk Franklin, Michelle Williams and Kim Burrell defended the legendary sisters on their social media. The sisters are individually known as Twinkie, Jackie, Dorinda and Karen.

@wendyshow These women have done more than number 1 on the charts. 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. In addition, they’ve managed to take their message to some of the world’s most biggest platforms and their message still translates through generations. 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. #receipts #facts #number1FemaleGospelGroup #theClarkSisters #Wendy #TheWendyShow

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.
