By: Kelly Price In a statement released by the Indiana Black Expo, the organizers said, "Ms. Price was never scheduled to perform as part of the IBE's Gospel Explosion. Ms. Price was originally scheduled to perform two songs at 3:00 p.m., an hour before the start of the Gospel Explosion. A last minute change in schedule resulted in Ms. Price performing close to the start of the Gospel Explosion. IBE has much respect for Ms. Price and is a huge fan and supporter of her work. IBE apologizes to Ms. Price for the change in schedule that caused people to believe that performance was part of our Gospel Explosion." Price was inundated with negative comments on social media, especially Twitter, following the performance. Price added that she was not paid for the appearance, but accepted an invitation to perform by her friend Rico Love. Price wants to reassure the public that it was not her intention to insult anyone. "I understand that some people in the audience were offended," said Price. "Thank you, Indy Black Expo for standing in truth with me on this. I appreciate you for inviting me to be a part of this weekend's festivities. I look forward to being with you again. Now that the facts are out there, maybe the real issue can be heard and dealt with. Why is it so hard for God's people to display God's love instead of viciously attacking people on social media? A REAL conversation needs to be had." End
