John Legend recently resurfaced in a video where he openly criticized President Donald Trump, describing him as a "bigot" and a "poor leader." The R&B singer did not mince his words during a Hollywood event, expressing his strong disapproval of Trump's stance on race and his leadership approach. Legend accused the president of endorsing racial superiority and highlighted his divisive actions during crises, contrasting it with a more unifying and comforting leadership style that he believed was necessary. The video, originally recorded in February 2024, resurfaced in April 2025, sparking renewed tension between Legend, his wife Chrissy Teigen, and Trump. This confrontation is just one of many instances where the couple has openly voiced their criticism of Trump, particularly in response to his derogatory comments directed at them dating back to 2019. Legend has consistently condemned Trump's racial views, suggesting that the president fundamentally believes in the inferiority of black individuals.
