John Legend shared some choice words for the rappers who have recently come forward as Trump supporters.
During a campaign event on Monday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Legend addressed the audience.
“Now, some people see the meanness, the bullying, the selfishness of Donald Trump and they mistake it for strength, a kind of twisted masculinity,” he said. “Some see his greed and they mistake it for being good at business.”
“Some of your former favorite rappers have been taken in by these lies,” Legend continued. “I think they even founded a new supergroup, it's called the Sunken Place,” a reference to Jordan Peele’s film Get Out.
