SUMMARY
John Legend has addressed rumors surrounding Haitian migrants in his hometown of Springfield, Ohio, dismissing claims that they are eating pets. In a video shared on Instagram, the singer firmly denied the allegations that former President Donald Trump amplified during a recent debate. Trump had shed light on the issue raised by locals in Springfield that Haitian migrants were consuming cats and dogs in the area.
