Musician and activist John Legend is at the center of a social media storm after a video surfaced of him branding Donald Trump a white supremacist during a public event. The footage, captured at the Fifteen Percent Pledge’s 15th Street Block Party in Hollywood earlier this year, has reignited debate over Trump’s leadership and the divisive nature of American politics. Legend’s outspoken comments have drawn both praise and criticism, highlighting the ongoing cultural rift surrounding the former president.
In the video, Legend criticizes Trump’s tenure, saying, “America made a decision that I strongly disagree with, and it seems that we are reaping the whirlwind right now.” He went on to call Trump a “terrible leader, especially in a crisis,” accusing him of “blaming, dividing, and misinforming people” rather than uniting the country.

This isn’t the first time John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have clashed with Trump. The celebrity couple has been vocal about their disdain for the former president, with Legend previously referring to Trump as a “dyed-in-the-wool racist.” In response, Trump once lashed out on Twitter, calling Legend a “boring musician” and Teigen “filthy-mouthed.” The feud extended to Teigen labeling Trump a “p—-a– b—-,” adding fuel to an already fiery exchange.
Highlight: The Viral Video That Reignited the Debate
At the Hollywood event, Legend didn’t hold back when discussing racial dynamics under Trump’s administration. Responding to a question about why Trump had “latched on to diversity,” Legend stated, “He’s a bigot. It’s a belief that there’s a hierarchy of racial groups and that his group is superior.” Legend even drew comparisons between Joe Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a “supremely qualified Black man,” and Trump’s choice of Pentagon leadership, claiming that for Trump, “any white man is better.”
The banner reading “DEI is more than just a headline” visible in the video has since become a viral moment, sparking discussions about diversity and inclusion in leadership. The footage has been widely shared on platforms like Twitter and TikTok, further amplifying the controversy.
