What’s an objectively good song sung by an objectively terrible person?

Question

In my opinion, I really like a lot of Michael Jackson’s music, but the guy was a pedophile.

R. Kelly still the greatest R&B singer of my generation. I knew he was a creep the whole time, lmao. Aaliyah was my age, and this dude married her when she was 16. She wasn’t even “sexy” Aaliyah yet, she just had that one “Back And Forth” single and everyone was like “whoa, that chick is only 14!” Second album I think was when they rolled her out as a sex symbol, but she had already had the thing with R. Kelly by then. Her first album was called “Age Ain’t Nothin’ But A Number”, and Kels took that shit LITERALLY, lmfao🤦‍♂️ Then he peed on some 15 year old girl ON VIDEO when I was like 21, and I was really only medium-surprised, more just because of the pissing, lmao. I don’t even know what he did that got him locked up, sounded like it was lots of women and pretty heinous stuff, but I honestly don’t even need to know, I believe it, whatever it is.

Anyway, he has hits on hits on hits on hits, and I probably can’t even link you a music video these days because they want him demonetized, maybe some independents have his stuff, we’ll see. Damn sure ain’t any R. Kelly VEVO though😂 Dude is locked up til he’s old and gray, though, the point is made, I never fucked with him personally, but let me have my R. Kelly music without judgement!😫😝 Fuck that dude Robert Kelly from Chicago, but R. Kelly the singer is the GOAT.

A lot of them were pedophiles though. Led zeppelin, rolling stones, Aerosmith etc. It was supposedly "another time" 🙄

Early Ted Nugent was decent. Pity he is such an asshole.

Was that even proven? I have heard so much about it, yet I do not think I have heard definitive evidence that made everyone go "he's a pedophile." Sure, even if it's true it'll always be disputed by someone, but that one seems to be disputed by a good chunk.
