Erykah Badu Sees the ‘Good' in Hitler: ‘He Had a Terrible Childhood'
[Breitbart] Grammy-winning soul singer Erykah Badu pushed back against allegations of anti-Semitism in a lengthy, wide-ranging interview with Vulture released Wednesday, even as she also said she saw "something good" in former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

The 46-year-old oft-described "queen of neo soul" was asked by Vulture writer David Marchese about her trip to Israel in 2008, in which she expressed support for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who himself has been accused of anti-Semitism.

Badu told Marchese that Farrakhan has "flaws," like any man, but that she will "follow anyone who has positive aspects."
