Yes it does. Especially when that performer has made a living presenting themselves as a "poet of the working class people" type and then start backing politics that the "working class people" are against.

I'm more critical of anyone's views when their actions reveal them to be hypocrites. Regardless, if the creative work impresses me, I'll judge the work separately from my opinion of the artist. If the artist has been accused of some criminal conduct, tried, and been found not guilty, that's the end of the issue for me.
