Real Housewife of Atlanta star, Kandi Burruss new single “Prayed Up” featuring Pastor Marvin Sapp has hit #1 on the iTunes Gospel Chart. Despite the backlash Kandi has received being a secular artist and business woman, the message in the song has “flown above” the “drama” and its message has reached the hearts of the Gospel community. Pastor Marvin Sapp took to his facebook page and thanked Kandi for allowing him to be apart of the process and for sharing her heart through song. Kandi told her audience on social media she has no plans to do a gospel album, she simply wanted to release a song that’s her testimony and share her heart through song. Viewers were able to see Pastor Marvin Sapp in the studio on the recent episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. “Stay Prayed Up” is available on all digital outlets.
