Fantasia made headlines this week when news hit that she was booked to perform at an ‘All Lives Matter’ gig.

The ‘American Idol’ winner’s initial response saw her defend herself, while drawing on Bible verses and biracial relatives to illustrate her argument.

John Legend is not here for Donald Trump.

The singer made that abundantly clear during his insightful sit-down on The Breakfast Club this morning.

Chopping it up with Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee, the ‘All Of Me’ belter offered a damning take on the controversial presidential candidate. Conversely, he showered praise aplenty on Hillary Clinton.
