On Thursday, Bebe stopped by the Morning Mash Up on SiriusXM Hits 1 and revealed what sparked her dad's controversial comments.

"I shouldn't have done that, I love my dad," Bebe said. "He hasn't talked to me in two weeks."

"He was upset because I posted a picture on my Instagram of me laying on a bed...suggestive," Bebe went on to share, adding that there was a cross above her in the picture. "I was inspired by Madonna 'Like a Prayer,' it's just art! And I think my dad always looks at me like his daughter."
