Jill Scott has dared to address the taboo topic of celebrity death. In a recent interview, the Soul singer spoke about the recent passing of Amy Winehouse and declared that “we all know it was coming”.
However, unlike Keri Hilson, Scott didn’t joke about the situation. Read what she had to say below:
I met her just once, in Philadelphia a few years ago. I thought she was incredible. There was a lot of soul and passion there, and honesty.
The loss is . . . I think we all knew it was coming, you know? It was a catch-22. The more music she created, the more money she received and the more easily she could get her drugs.
Some people are so talented, they’re tortured. Maybe she was one of those people. I don’t know.
I’m definitely sorry that I won’t be hearing new music from that voice anymore. It’s sad.

Although Scott definitely made a good point, it is easy to see how her words could be misunderstood. Next time she should just say “no comment”.
