The former Love & Hip-Hop star has lived on the R&B charts but has sang with a “country twang” as you can see in the video below. The outspoken Kimberly continues to express her desire to sing in the genre and took it to another level, crashing Nashville’s “Nash Edition” show. She took the mic and minced no words. “Hello Nashville. My name is K. Michelle,” she said. “I have three number one albums on Billboard. You can pull out your Google right now, as we speak, no lie. I currently am here in Nashville, I just got through sitting down with Chris Stapleton, you guys can pull [him] up. I am a Black girl. And guess what? I’m a Black girl who sings better than any white motherf***er country singer in Nashville right now. And guess what? I have a ton of your favorite people behind me!” [ione_media_gallery src=”https://kysdc.com” id=”3641037″ overlay=”true”] She added: “When I say, ‘I’m the next motherf****g Taylor Swift,’ it’s not a motherf*****g joke,” she said. “It’s the motherf****g truth. I’m Black as sh*t. I listen to City Girls, and I curse motherf****rs out. But guess what? I can play that mother****g guitar!” The show’s host, Tyler Rayn showed his support for K. Michelle on social media and called out Country Music’s lack of diversity in the post below. View this post on Instagram I was honored to share the stage last night with Billboard-topping artist @kmichellemusic – Although some people were taken aback by her delivery, I couldn’t be more proud to have her message shared on the @nashedition stage. I personally know that Nashville still has a long way to go before it will hear everyone’s voices. Conversations like these are what will cause people to actually start listening. @kmichellemusic – thank you for making amazing music and for sharing your truth. @theshaderoom ・・・ #PressPlay: #KMichelle #taylorswift #theshaderoom #nashville #countrymusic #rnb A post shared by T Y L E R R A Y N (@iamtylerrayn) on Apr 28, 2019 at 11:27am PDT It’s clear that K. Michelle not only has an amazing voice, but she can also sing just about anything. Hopefully, she can get her chance at belting out some tunes at the Grand Ole Opry one day.
