The multiple Grammy Award winner opened up on the ways she is supporting the movement, noting that she has been working with some youth organizations to support those protesting.
Her statement reads:
“I am heartbroken to see the senseless brutality taking place in Nigeria. There has to be an end to SARS.
“We have been working on partnerships with youth organizations to support those protesting for change. We are collaborating with coalitions to provide emergency healthcare, food, and shelter.
