The number of celebrities that grew up in the church is outstanding. You'd never know it because they rarely, if ever acknowledge God for their fame & fortune. Many music celebs got their start in the church: Snoop Dogg, K-Ci and Jojo, Jennifer Hudson, Toni Braxton and her sisters, etc. The most notable ones are Toni Braxton and her sisters because both of their parents were pastors and they frowned upon secular music. After a while, the Braxton sisters parents eventually let them do their thing and from what I can see, they haven't forgotten where they come from and I respect that. From time to time, they broke out some old-school church harmonies on Braxton Family Values. Many singers got their first start in their church choir and from that point on, God anointed them to sing and it was a wrap. You have celebrities that grew up in the church and go bonkers. I guess being raised in a strict religious household can cause one to rebel because the assumption is that your life has to be based around church; having a life is frowned upon.
