Headline: John Legend defends decision to perform amid war
Caption:
The 46-year-old multi-Grammy Award-winning star sparked a backlash after taking to the stage in Rwanda this month, which has been involved in a war with the Democratic Republic of Congo since 2022. But the All Of Me singer thinks it is unfair to punish music fans for the actions of their leaders, and has defended his decision to perform in the African country. He said after performing in Kigali, per the BBC, "I don't believe that we should punish the people of Rwanda and punish the people of other countries when we disagree with their leaders."
