Stephanie Mills: Nick Cannon and Kanye West Are Acting Like ‘Paid Slaves’ and ‘Little Boys In a Sandbox’
Stephanie Mills may have “learned to respect the power of love” but not Nick Cannon or Kanye West.
The legendary singer shared harsh words for the two entertainers, saying, “We have no time for you two to be out here acting like little paid slaves,” according to NewsOne.
Mills, a former Broadway star and a chart-topping R&B singer, left a jarring message for Cannon, who recently lost his gig at ViacomCBS, and West, who is presently attempting to run for president. The singer took to her Instagram account to chastise the two businessmen.
Mills first went at West although she expressed empathy toward him and his mental health before she criticized his presidential bid, which may help President Donald Trump get reelected. She also lashed out at Cannon for supporting West’s run.
“First, I know that Kanye is suffering mentally. I know that he’s swinging high and low and I really pray and hope that he gets help,” the singer said. “But I must say that I’m disappointed because if he’s trying to help our community by running for president, it’s not helping our community. He’s not qualified to be president. Neither is the person at the White House at this time.”
And, based on a current clip shown on TMZ, when Cannon was asked about West’s run for president, he replied, “I love it! Yeah. We need another black man in power.” Mills had a response to that.
“Nick Cannon, now you? I don’t understand, because I saw you at Pops’ when he gave his speech at his talk, in Chicago not long ago. And then for you to come out and do what you did, like supporting Kanye. What is that? What is that? I don’t understand it. Kanye’s being paid to do what he’s doing, now are we to believe that you’re also being paid to be a distraction? You guys are acting like little boys in a sandbox with toys.”
