Katy Perry’s dad, Keith Hudson, is a long-time minster turned traveling preacher who makes appearances around the world talking about the “burden of having a daughter that is not serving God“ and the path to salvation.
RadarOnline.com reports that last year, he and his wife, Mary, hit 15 states and five countries, raking in nearly $200,000. But since their pop star daughter is a constant topic of both their sermons and self-published books, some have criticized the Hudsons for using her for financial gain.
One pastor even admits, “To be quite honest, one or two people in our church didn’t take to them. They felt these people were cashing in on their daughter’s fame.”
