Katy Perry's Dad Calls Daughter 'Devil Child' and Wants People to 'Pray' for Her in Sermons

The 'I Kissed a Girl' singer's father, who serves
as a guest speaker in American churches,
claims that it's sad to see people worship his
famous daughter instead of God.
Katy Perry is labeled
as "devil child" by
her own father,
according to British
news outlet The Sun.
Parents Keith Perry
and Mary Hudson,
who are currently
touring American
churches as guest
speakers, also urged
people to "pray for
Katy" in a string of
sermons.
During touring, the
pair also reportedly showed a video which
depicts the "I Kissed a Girl" singer as a "devil
child" who needs "healing." Keith then
recalled, "[Church attendees] ask how can I
preach if I produce a girl who sang about
kissing another girl?"
Keith also told the site that he sometimes shed
tears when going to watch his daughter's live
performances. He said that he once was among
20,000 people in his daughter's concert. "I'm
watching this generation and they were going
at it. It almost looked like church," he said.
He expressed his sadness that those people at
the concert worshiped Katy instead of God. He
added, "I stood there and wept and kept on
weeping and weeping. They're loving and
worshiping the wrong thing."
Prior to becoming a famous pop singer, Katy
was a church singer. Having grown up in a
strict Christian household, the ex-wife of
Russell Brand clearly had a different mindset
from her parents who are both evangelical
pastors. "My mind has changed," she told
Parade magazine back in 2012.
However, she said that spirituality was still a
part of her life. "I don't go to one particular
church," she said in an interview last July. "I'm
open to the idea. It's just I haven't been able
to in the past few years. But you know what?
God is still inside of me and I still talk to Him
every day."
