Singer Ledisi has finally addressed the drama behind her being snubbed for Beyonce to perform her version of the timeless spiritual “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” from the movie Selma at Sunday’s 57th annual Grammy’s as we previously told you about HERE.
Ledisi, who plays gospel singer Mahalia Jackson in the Martin Luther King Jr. biopic, responded to the controversy on the Grammy red carpet Sunday – and admitted that she “had no clue” why Beyonce was performing it over her but was still grateful.
“What I will say and what I’m excited about is that I had the pleasure of playing an iconic figure in Selma, and the song, ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord,’ it’s been going on forever – starting with the queen Mahalia [Jackson], the queen of soul Aretha Franklin,” Ledisi told ET’s Kevin Frazier on the carpet.
“Then, I was able to portray and sing my version of the song, and now we have Beyonce. Her generation will now know the song, so I’m a part of history,” she continued.
The performance was an intro to John Legend and Common who were performing their Golden Globe winning single ‘Glory’ from ‘Selma’. John revealed that Beyonce was the one who approached he and Common about performing the song.
“We were actually approached by Beyonce. She wanted to do an intro to our performance and introduce us,” Legend told Kevin. “You don’t really say no to Beyonce if she asks to perform with you.”
Check out Ledisi’s humble response to the issue that has caused a firestorm on social media.
