Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them? (lemmy.world)

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

Kanye West. Maybe he was never 'all there' mentally to begin with, but the guy was clearly a role model to a lot of young people and utterly destroyed his own legacy.

Yep, I was a young person that loved Kanye back in high school when Graduation was the CD I had on me all the time.

Can’t listen to it anymore. It’s ruined. :{
