Liberal Grammy and Oscar-winning singer John Legend blasted President Donald Trump saying he “needs to be removed from office" before calling him a “cancer."
The singer remarks come following the firing of Navy Secretary Richard Spencer.
The official resigned following his handling of the case regarding Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher.
“The President is a cancer and needs to be removed from office as soon as possible,” John Legend said on Twitter in response to Spencer’s letter on his departure.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper lost “trust and confidence” after learning the Navy secretary had contradicted his public position by privately proposing that Trump allow the Navy to conduct an internal review of Gallagher.
The decision came just a day after Spencer denied reports that he had threatened to resign after Trump intervened in Gallagher’s case.
Gallagher was acquitted of war crimes charges including shooting civilians, murdering a teenage Islamic State captive, and threatening those who gave their superiors information on him during his time in Iraq.
He was also convicted of posing for a photo with the IS fighter’s dead body.

Gallagher was sentenced to four months confinement and loss of rank.
President Trump restored Gallagher’s rank to E-7 and tweeted that the Navy would not remove his Trident pin.
Last year, Legend slammed Trump saying, "the president is a f***ing embarrassment," following CNN's Jim Acosta's heated exchanged during a White House press conference.
Legend refrained from going into specific detail on why he thinks the President is embarrassing, but the indicator was the timing of the Tweet, which was sent just 20 minutes after Acosta's outrageous spectacle at the press conference.
The confrontational exchange occurred while the President was giving a press conference on the results of the midterm election.
