Pharrell Performs Runnin’ On The Ellen Show

Pharrell was on the Ellen show yesterday to promote the movie Hidden Figures and he also addressed the Kim Burrell controversy. Burrell’s sermon about “perverted homosexuals” went viral last week and since then she was uninvited to Ellen, her radio was canceled and she was nixed from appearing at the Trailblazers Of Gospel Music Awards. Pharrell had already denounced Burrell’s views on his Twitter timeline and he reiterated those thoughts on Ellen. “Runnin'” is one of the songs he composed for the Hidden Figures soundtrack and he performed it live on the show.
