Soulful songstress Jazmine Sullivan received social media backlash after she posted a long, puzzling message about deceased gospel singer Thomas ‘TC’ Clay.

The gospel community mourned Clay, who was found dead in his hotel room over the weekend.

After learning of his death, Jazmine connected his name with a man who had apparently been lurking in her DMs for quite sometime.

Instead of expressing grief, she began her since-deleted post with details about their encounter:

“I don’t know TC very well. What I do know is I gave him my number accidentally thru a friend and he reached out consistently for a year. I think I replied maybe three times but that never stopped him from writing me. He was DETERMINED,” she wrote. “I had no idea who was “bothering” me until then and how dope he was,.”

Oof, not a great way to start a eulogy.

She continued her message saying she was ‘Deeply saddened,’ and concluded saying ‘Just know I was YOUR fan TC!!! (Cuz I know u still gotta crush on me in heaven and u listening.’

Expectedly, TC’s mourning fans didn’t take the post too well:
