16-Year-Old ‘American Idol’ Singer Caleb Kennedy Drops Out Over KKK Controversy

Caleb Kennedy was one of the top contestants on this season of American Idol, but now he’s out after a controversial video surfaced on social media that shows him beside someone wearing what looks to be a white Ku Klux Klan hood. His mom reportedly said the video was taken when Caleb was 12 years old after he watched the movie “The Strangers: Prey At Night," and has nothing to do with the KKK. The 16-year-old got to the final five of the competition and was favored to win the whole thing, until now.
