The poster boy for this in music is usually Wagner, a despicable megalomaniac antisemite who wrote some gorgeous music.
But the one I wonder about is Charles Mingus. I feel a deep connection to his music, but (having read his autobiography) I’m sure we would not have been natural pals. He’d have dismissed me as too white, square and prude to take notice of. And I can get along with almost anyone, but he’d have at least made me uncomfortable I know. (He was literally a pimp...)
