Gospel Community Comes to The Clark Sisters Defense After Dig From Wendy Williams

Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammond, Michelle Williams and more are speaking up for the legendary Clark Sisters after Wendy Williams threw a bit of shade their way on her popular talk show.

While discussing the gospel charts during her “Hot Topics” segment, Williams suggested the group must feel bad that Snoop Dogg’s debut Christian album, Snoop Dogg Presents: Bible of Love, – which features the Clark Sisters – reached No. 1 while they have never charted so high after years within the industry.

“If I were the Clark Sisters, would I be mad that Snoop got No. 1?” Wendy asked her audience. “You know the Clark Sisters, they’ve been doing gospel forever. Have they gotten No. 1?”

“Well,” she sighed, “Step up your game.”

Adams, Hammond, Williams, Tasha Cobs, Deitrick Haddon, Kirk Franklin and others from the world of gospel quickly defended the group, with Kierra Sheard, daughter of Clark Sister Karen Clark Sheard, telling Williams that their value goes beyond record sales. They also let fans know that the group has, in fact, gone #1 before.
