The 50-year-old rapper, actress, and producer took to her page and said the following,

“It’s Friday and we made it to the end of the week. I’m just feeling really grateful and I just wanna send love to everyone and I hope that y’all have a safe, powerful, beautiful weekend and staying safe and wearing your masks and doing what you gotta do to stay healthy and protect those who you care about and love. I hope you keep fighting for justice and keep doing what we have to do.”

She continued,

“Special shout out to everyone who made it out to Kentucky to rally for our little sister Breonna Taylor, cannot forget about her, cannot. And yesterday was a month since George Floyd was killed was murdered, so much has happened in a month, so right now I’m making new space for new energy because it’s not a sprint it’s a marathon.

Her message comes amid the public outcry following the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. 

George Floyd, an unarmed black man, was killed while in the custody of four Minneapolis police officers last month. One officer in particular, Derek Chauvin, pinned his knee on George Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes, ultimately leading to his death. All four officers have been fired. Derek Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder, while the other three officers have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

Breonna Taylor died from gunshot wounds after a group of police officers executed a no-knock warrant at her home in Louisville, KY. Her boyfriend fired back with gunfire, leading in a shootout between police, which caused Breonna Taylor’s death.
