Here at I Love Old School Music, we love a celebrity who ain’t never scared to speak his/her mind, regardless of what anyone else thinks about it. And we can always rely on R&B legend, Stephanie Mills, to do just that…much like she’s now done regarding Kanye West and Nick Cannon. As y’all already know, Donald Trump supporter, Kanye West, is running for President. As a result, Nick Cannon showed his support for Kanye, stating to TMZ, “I love it! Yeah. We need another black man in power.” Welp, Ms. Mills had more than a few words for both of ’em…
Mills Virtually Chin Checks Kanye & Nick Cannon
In an online video (below) -captioned, “My stance on #KanyeWest and Nick Cannon and our culture”- Stephanie Mills addressed everything from ‘Ye’s mental state, to Nick’s motive for endorsing him.
On Kanye’s mental health:
“I’d like to say a couple of things about, Kanye West and Nick Cannon. First, I know that Kanye is suffering mentally. I know that he is swinging high and low, and I really pray and hope that he gets help.”
She voiced her disappointment and said Kanye is a “distraction”:
“But I must say that I am disappointed because if he’s trying to help our community, but running for President, it’s not helping out our community. He’s not qualified, to be President, neither is the person that’s in the White House at this time.
Kanye is a distraction, and we’re living in some really, really trying times, where we don’t need distractions. What we need is for Kanye to get help. To get on medication, to see a therapist, and to get help. “
Mills then went off on Nick Cannon:
“Nick Cannon, now you? I don’t understand, because I saw you at Pops’ when he gave his speech at his talk, in Chicago not long ago. And then for you to come out and do what you did, like supporting Kanye. What is that? What is that? I don’t understand it. Kanye’s being paid to do what he’s doing, now are we to believe that you’re also being paid to be a distraction? You guys are acting like little boys in a sandbox with toys.”
‘They’re acting like little paid slaves’:
“But being that you’re acting like that, as a mother, I would like to say take your toys, go home, and sit down, and get help and get therapy. Nick you should know better, because you’ve learned and listened to the teachings, so you should know better, ’cause I just saw you. So I just think that, people are losing their homes, people can’t pay their rent, people cannot buy food for their children or their family. We have no time for you two to be out here, acting like little paid slaves, I said it.”

Ms. Mills ended her check session with a peace-filled message:
“I wish everybody well. I wish that we weren’t in these times. But you must know that God is God and you have to keep your hands in His hands. And don’t be fearful. Fear is your worst enemy, do not be fearful. Just trust that God is the best knower, okay? I send everyone love, peace, and we’re going to get through this. And on the other side of this is going to be very good. I’m optimistic about it. And I have no fear. So I want everyone to have a peaceful Sunday, listen to music let the sun hit your face.”
Woah! Stephanie Mills had a LOT to get off her chest. Thoughts ILOSM family?
