John Legend and Kanye West may be the best of colleagues, but that didn’t stop the “Darkness And Light” singer from speaking out against Ye’s recent meeting with Donald Trump.

“I don’t think it’s impossible to talk to [Trump] about issues, but I won’t be used as a publicity stunt and I think Kanye was a publicity stunt,” Legend said during an interview with France’s Clique TV. “I’m pretty disappointed with Kanye that he says he would have voted for Trump.”

Legend added, “I think Trump has been corrosive to the country. I think the things he’s promised to do have been very concerning for a lot of people and for Kanye to support that message is very disappointing.”

Kudos to John Legend for being bold enough to stand up and say when something isn’t right.
