Empire left a lot of people in awe after it’s season premiere on Wednesday night. However, some church folk are not very pleased with the jab the show threw at Donnie McClurkin and his “reformed homosexuality.” McClurkin could have addressed this situation in several different ways, but he decided to take the high road stating,
“It was brought to my attention via social media that my name was included in a “back-handed” manner during a scene in the FOX show, Empire. What might have been meant for evil, God uses for good! Despite the scripting used by @leedanielsent it has helped bring attention to the gospel of Jesus Christ that I sing and preach, an empowering moment! To my brothers and sisters, thank you for your support, encouragement & love! No negativity towards @leedanielsent let’s show the love of Jesus,” says McClurkin.
