Legendary musician and singer Raphael Saadiq was in attendance at Kanye West's third listening event for his upcoming album, DONDA. During the event, Saadiq posted a photo with Marilyn Manson who was a surprise guest during Kanye West's performance.
Following the singer's post, his comments section was flooded with posts criticizing his picture. Social media users called out the singer for promoting Manson, due to multiple sexual assault allegations.
Raphael Saadiq acknowledged the concerns of his commenters and said he would take the post down, claiming he was unaware of Manson's allegations. However, he called out commenters for flooding his comments more than usual for a negative story and added that his positive posts never receive the same attention.
"I'm taking this post down today, I wasn't aware of his allegations, so please forgive the post," Saadiq wrote. "I wouldn't want to offend anyone who's been abused, but I want to say this, most of the people whom I've never seen on this page, I'm a very positive brother who only post love and positive music, but you MF don't ring my bell for positive post, I guess that's why negative s*** is so popular, y'all sit around and wait for s*** like this, my post and views are very low numbers, and I like it like that, but as soon as it something y'all don't like, Millions of new people hit the page, y'all should try ring my bell for all the positive things, click on a good song or a beautiful positive waterfall or mountains, but y'all go straight crickets for Gods creative nature, who's really the DEVIL!!! It might be you #Donda forgive all typos."
