Macy Gray worries about backlash to artists who speak out on politics: 'Can't say what's on your mind'
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Singer Macy Gray defended artists who use their award-winning speeches to talk politics, saying it's an ideal way to use one's platform.
"Of course," Gray told Fox News Digital this week following a concert in Alexandria, Virginia. "I think it's sad that when you become a celebrity you all of a sudden can't say what's on your mind. I think that's disappointing, because you have people that have this huge platform, and have the opportunity to move things and to change things, but we have to be so careful about what we say. You say the wrong thing, and it's like, ‘Oh burn her records,' or, ‘I’m never watching that show again'… So I think it's a shame."
SINGER MACY GRAY PUTS BIDEN, CONGRESS ON BLAST FOR FAILING TO CHANGE POLICE CULTURE: ‘THAT’S BULLS---'
She offered a hypothetical prompt from hip-hop star Jay-Z as an example.
"If he said, ‘I want everyone to do 10 jumping jacks,’ everybody would do it… When you have that kind of access, but you have to be careful about what you say, I think that's disappointing," she said.
In recent months, Gray has used her own platform to speak out against police violence. She called current police department culture "horrible" and suggested that changes need to come from the higher authorities, blasting President Biden and Congress for not taking action.
"It's devastating that it's still relevant today," she said. "That you still have to have that conversation but… I just think it's a waste because… We have a president, all he needs to do is pass some laws. He can say, ‘I’m waiting on Congress,' but we all know that's bulls---. He can make it happen. Congress can make it happen."
