Temptations Singer Otis Williams Blasts Beyonce & Rihanna For Being Too Raunchy “I’m Appalled!”
Legendary 72-year-old Temptations singer Otis Williams has hit out at Rihanna and Beyonce for being too “explicit.”
The Motown legend spoke out about his admiration for both stars as
artists. But he then questioned their decisions to embrace a ‘sex
sells’ attitude towards their music.
Williams singled out Beyonce’s performance at this years Grammys
saying: “I watched Beyoncé at the Grammys and I have to say, I’m a huge
Beyoncé fan, but what she did with Jay Z, I thought, ‘No you ain’t
girlfriend’!”
Rihanna also came under fire during the interview. Rihanna, who is
known for her bad girl antics was criticized for her sexually charged
image.
Williams said: “I love Rihanna but I’m shocked by her and a few others that are coming out with very explicit things.
“When I listen to some of the stuff that’s being played on the radio I am appalled.”
The interview comes as The Temptations tour the UK with The Four Tops in a celebration of Motown music.
The star voiced his concerns that the money made by the music is now more important than its morality.
He argued that it’s actually much more simple: “A great song will always stand the test of time”.Otis certainly isn’t the first person to fire shots at Beysus or Rih-Rih
over their sexualized images as of late and he probably won’t be the
last. Do you agree with his comments or is he just being an old school
hater?
