Ariane Grande was criticized and blamed on various social media platforms for her inappropriate bikini dress worn to perform at Aretha Franklin’s home-going service over the weekend.

She performed a song (“you make me feel”) in church dressed in a hot bikini in the Presence of former US President, Bill Clinton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Bishop Charles H. Ellis III and the entire family and mourners who came to witness the service.

However, after the performance,  Bishop Charles Ellis III who officiated the service, thanked and congratulated her but something unusual happened, he was captured on a camera fondling the breast of the American female singer.

Bishop Ellis III can longer stand the bashings being directed at him, therefore, he has finally explained himself apologising for any inconveniences he might have caused the American singer.

“It would never be my intention to touch any woman’s breast… I don’t know I guess I put my arm around her, Maybe I crossed the border, maybe I was too friendly or familiar but again, I apologize,” he told the associate journalist after the event.
