If you’re famous, Gene Simmons<\/strong><\/a> has a strong message for you … do your art and shut up about politics!<\/p>\n

The legendary KISS cofounder put his own spin on Laura Ingraham’s infamous “shut up and dribble” line when we chatted with him Monday in Bev Hills.<\/p>\n

And, he even called out a few celebs by name! You’ll have to watch the video to find out who.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What’s interesting is … Simmons has been more open in recent years about his general views on politics and politicians.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Simmons predicted Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>‘s victory, calling him “good for the political system” in an interview with Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/a>. Months later, he went on celebrity.land and called Trump a “legitimate, upstanding guy.” So, he certainly wasn’t practicing what he’s now preaching.<\/p>\n

By 2022, his tone had changed slightly during an appearance with Bill Maher<\/strong><\/a> … “The person that I saw first coming into power is not the person I saw within a year or two of that,” he said. “But I changed, the way lots of people changed.”<\/p>\n

Check out the video for more. It might be the last time ya hear Gene spill any political tea!<\/p>\n

So, we gotta ask …<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
