It's freedom of speech and they can say what they want. Should John Lennon have shut up and not be political during the NIXON criminal days, a man who extended a war so he could get votes? to me that is straight up murder and had Nixon been alive today he should have been thrown in Jail or gotten the death penalty like those he sent to die.

So we can bitch about celebs talking and thats cool, but just like we get our platforms on social media and shit like that, people getting voices and can hide behind a screen, at least they are doing it and owning it and walking the talk, no one on Facebook or social media that rants and goes off on someone would have the balls to do it to someones face.

The problem is hypocrisy. There's nothing wrong with pop stars addressing real issues in their music or outside of it but you can't speak out against a problem that you're actively a part of. Katy is the poster girl for shallow, paint-by-number pop music yet she makes a shallow paint-by-number pop song supposedly against shallow paint-by-number pop music? Makes less than zero sense. This is made worse when she dubs the song "Purposeful Pop", which is confirmation that she was trying to make a statement.

What Katy did is the equivalent of someone advocating for veganism as they eat a sirloin steak.
