Music Legend Little Richard Rejects Homosexuality: "I Want to be Holy Like Jesus""Y'all, keep me in your prayers." – Little Richard (Nashville, TN) — [CBN News] Iconic musician Little Richard is renouncing his past life of sexual immorality, saying he believes same-sex relationships are "unnatural affections." (Photo Credit: CBN News) In previous interviews, the famous singer referred to himself as "omnisexual," revealing in an interview with GQ five years ago that he lived a life of perversion … But in an extensive interview with Three Angels Broadcasting Network, an Illinois-based Christian and health-oriented television and radio network, Little Richard says he has repented and turned to Jesus Christ for salvation. "When I first came in show business they wanted you to look like everybody but yourself," he recalled. "And anybody that comes in show business, they gonna say you gay or straight," he said. "God made men, men, and women, women. You've got to live the way God wants you to live … He can save you," the 84-year-old singer told the Christian broadcaster. The singer admits he fell to the temptations of the entertainment industry. In Charles White's biography, The Life and Times of Little Richard, Richard, whose given name is Richard Wayne Penniman, revealed that his marriage to Ernestine Campbell fell apart due to his sexuality and being neglectful. "You know, all these things. So much unnatural affection," the singer told the network. "So much of people just doing everything and don't think about God. Don't want no parts of Him." "I was talking to Michael Jackson's mother Katherine and she said she believed in the Resurrection. I said I believed in the Resurrection too. But I believe you've got to live right now in Jesus. He's a real Savior and the Prince of Life," he added. "Regardless of whatever you are, He loves you. I don't care what you are. He loves you and He can save you. All you've got to do is say, 'Lord, take me as I am. I'm a sinner.' But we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The only holy, righteous person is Jesus and He wants us to be just like Him because, in order to go to Heaven, we've got to look like Him," Richard continued. Richard said he asked God to save him and the Lord spoke to him saying, "Richard, you're singing Tutti Fruity. You're singing Good Golly Miss Molly. You're singing Long Tall Sally. You're singing The Girl Can't Help It and She's Got It and all of these things." And Richard asked, "Lord, can I do this and still be saved?" And according to the singer, the Lord replied, "Richard, no man can serve two masters." Richard said he had to release everything after that, so he retired from performing and recording. He related a recent incident where a producer came to him, offering millions of dollars for a new television series titled "Little Richard." The producer told him if he would allow the series to go forward, he would be the hottest thing on the planet. "And I said, 'I don't want to be hot in the fire. I don't want to be hot in the flames," he told the producer. "I want to do what God wants me to do." Richard confessed the offer was tempting. "I don't want to sing rock and roll no more … I want to be holy like Jesus," he said.
