Celebrities nowadays are so concerned and obsessed with money, it's to the point now where it's disgusting. They have it corrupt them so much, they'll say anything in order to get it, even if what they say isn't true. you have a lot of high platform celebrities, like rappers only talking about girls, drugs, partying, and the non important transient materialistic items that seem to be running their lives. If you're in a position of power like that and you have people looking up to you, then you should be swaying them to the more important things, like love and not hate. Nothing that'll negatively influence them, especially the ones that have audiences that target smaller kids. I think it's your duty as a icon to help change the world because it's you and not some random person on the street, that's gonna influence the masses, so if you have that many heads turned your way, do it in a positive manner. A random person on the street may negatively influence a couple people but a celebrity can interfere with thousands if not millions. they should speak their mind because expressing yourself is the most important thing you can do. Without it, we don't have new ways of thinking. a person that wants to change the world for the better, wants to get to a high position of power, because they wanna help as many people as possible. if you're there, you should be doing what you love and also be expressing your opinions on certain things, especially if they'll help. They should participate In political issues. They have just a right as anybody else because we're all human. They should only do this though if they have good intentions. Also, I think people should like artists regardless of what their views are. If you like the song, nothing else should matter. So if you're an artist out there that's worried about what you say because it might make your fans not listen to you .. I think most artists rather have true fans rather than fake fans.

Although it is annoying at times, celebrities still have the right to freedom of speech.

Yes and they should come to CreateDebate to face the opposition. :)

Should entertainers try to influence the public on political issues?

Only if they agree with Stickers....

They're just expressing their opinion man. Freedom of Speech

Sure. Everyone has the right to advocate for what is important to them.
