Singer John Legend is under fire after footage emerged of him calling Donald Trump a white supremacist.
A lifelong liberal along with his wife Chrissy Teigen, 39, Legend, 46, has called Trump a ‘dyed in the wool racist’ with Trump describing him as a ‘boring musician’ and Teigen as ‘filthy-mouthed’ for calling him a ‘p***y-a** b****’ in 2019.
Now, a clip of Legend speaking at The Fifteen Percent Pledge’s 15th Street Block Party in Hollywood in February is doing the rounds with the singer heard attacking the President once again.

Reigniting the feud: John Legend has been slammed by critics for calling President Donald Trump a ‘white supremacist’ at an event that promoted black businesses
Legend said of Trump’s victory: ‘America made a decision that I strongly disagree with and it seems that we are reaping the whirlwind right now.’
He described Trump as ‘a terrible leader, especially in a crisis’ and accused Trump of, weeks into his second term, ‘blaming’, ‘dividing’, and ‘misinforming people.’
Legend added that Trump should have been ‘bringing people together’ instead.

Long-running battle: Libereral Legend has been a fierce critic of Trump for years
The moderator asked why Trump has ‘latched on to diversity so much’ in front of a marquee that read ‘DEI is more than just a headline.’
‘Well, he’s a bigot. It’s a belief that there’s a hierarchy of racial groups and that his group is superior, genetically superior,’ Legend said to applause from the crowd.
‘He believes that. Whenever he talks about competence and qualifications, any white man will do for him!’
Legend then compared and contrasted Joe Biden’s defense secretary Lloyd Austin and current head of the Pentagon Pete Hegseth.
‘He was a four-star generally, supremely qualified black man and then see who he put after him! That’s the level of bigotry that he has – any white man is better than that.’
MAGA supporters came to the President’s defense on social media, with one writing: ‘Trump should sue. Stop letting this slide.’
‘All this division is sad,’ wrote another.
One pointed out Legend’s hypocrisy, writing: ‘Only a Democrat could claim “Trump is divisive” in one breath & say “MAGA is white supremacist” in the next.
Another Trump fan added: ‘If President Trump ever said anything like this, it would be played by legacy media on repeat. This is projection 101; John Legend is the divisive racist.’
Another mocked Legend’s stage name: ‘The douche changed his last name to Legend so he clearly believes he is superior to everybody.’

Harsh comparison: Legend compared and contrasted Joe Biden’s defense secretary Lloyd Austin and current head of the Pentagon Pete Hegseth (pictured)
Legend and Teigen have long professed their disdain for Trump, with the President even sniping back once.
Speaking with former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki last April, Legend continued his oft-repeated claims that Trump holds racial prejudices when asked about Trump’s complaints about the U.S.justice system.
Legend said: ‘He’s made it clear throughout his life that black people are inferior, he believes that to his core, in his bones… but also when you hear some of the stray comments he makes, he clearly believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity and is racially determined, so he is a tried and true, dyed-in-the-wool racist.’
Legend believes this cancels out any benefit the black community may have had under Trump’s rule.
‘I don’t want to hear what he has to say about what he’s done for black people. He’s done very little for us and he is at his core, truly, truly a racist.’

War of words: Trump has previously hit back at Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen
Legend was discussing his efforts to push for criminal justice reform and said Trump is, in a way, correct that the justice system is unfair.
‘There is a two-tiered justice system, but not in the way that he thinks. He’s the beneficiary, absolutely… the fact that he’s out in the world, that’s not normal for a lot of people.’
‘He’s gotten away with a lot for a long time, he’s been a fraudster for a long time, he’s been cheating people for a long time, he’s been lying for a long time and he’s actually been litigating for a long time,’ he added.
