During her 2019 Breakfast Club interview, Fantasia Barrino made some polarizing remarks about why she thinks “submission” is a key to marriage. She stated, “Most women are trying to be the leader, that’s why you can’t find a man.” She went on to say women “can’t be the king in the house.” Instead, she believes that women need to “fall back and be the queen and let your man lead the way.” She declared, “You have to learn how to submit.” She went on to emphasize that “the king needs his queen.” As expected, these beliefs caused some controversy.
The American Idol winner and her husband, Kendall Taylor, attempted to clarify their beliefs in an Instagram video in September 2019. Taylor commented, “Submission is supposed to be a beautiful song and dance between two lovers. What’s happened is men have abused that power. Forgive me, they’ve abused that gift…”
He denies the notion that submission means men have a “dominant spirit” and “dictate everything.” For example, he said “I don’t go around the house being like ‘What we gonna spend? How we gonna do it?’ We talk and we build. I consider everything that’s on her heart.”
Taylor stated, “I fall, she falls. If she falls, I fall. Submission is solely about trust.” Barrino added, “I’m a very strong woman, but when it comes to allowing him to cover and lead this home, I sit back and allow him to do that. It makes me better.”
