Biggest Scandals of 2017
In an interview with Vulture published on Wednesday, January 24, the ?On & On? singer opened up about how she sees the good in everybody.
?I?m not an anti-Semitic person. I don?t even know what anti-Semitic was before I was called it. I?m a humanist. I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler,? she explained. When asked to clarify Badu added, ?Yeah, I did. Hitler was a wonderful painter.?
She continued, ?Okay, he was a terrible painter. Poor thing. He had a terrible childhood. That means that when I?m looking at my daughter, Mars, I could imagine her being in someone else?s home and being treated so poorly, and what that could spawn. I see things like that. I guess it?s just the Pisces in me.?
