Erykah Badu is in the news today for all the wrong reasons. It has to do with an interview the 46-year old Dallas native recently had with Vulture, in which she had kind words for Adolf Hitler.
Badu's answer to a question about Louis Farrakhan and anti-Semitism inexplicably turned into a debate about the Nazi leader, who was responsible for the murders of 6 million Jews during World War II.
"I’m a humanist. I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler," she said. "Hitler was a wonderful painter."
Vulture responded by telling the singer that Hitler wasn't a good painter and asked what difference that would have made in terms of him being good in any way.
Badu stubbornly stuck to her guns, suggesting Hitler's childhood may have been responsible for the monster he became.
"Okay, he was a terrible painter. Poor thing. He had a terrible childhood," the "On & On" hit maker said. "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. I don’t care if the whole group says something, I’m going to be honest. I know I don’t have the most popular opinion sometimes."
