Springfield, Ohio, native and Grammy Award winning artist John Legend is apparently gearing up for a music video shoot that will tackle some serious social issues.
According to TMZ, Legend put out a casting call, courtesy of Casting Networks in Los Angeles, for a music video shoot Sept. 9. The listing asks for several groups of performers, including African-American males and females to play Black Lives Matter protesters, Caucasian males, ages 18-35 to fill the role of "white male protesters," and a Caucasian and Hispanic woman to "show that there is no segregation in love" for a kissing scene.

What’s gotten the bulk of the attention though is what’s listed as protesters who will play “Trump supporters.” The listing calls for Caucasian men and women, ages 35-65 who are “preferably out of shape.”
Legend has been widely critical of Donald Trump, including a candid, yet scathing interview in the New York Times in February.
In the interview, Legend said he doesn’t think Trump has ever read a book or knows what’s in the Constitution.
