Bee’s support comes not long after Barbadian singer, Rihanna and American-Trinidadian rapper, Nicki Minaj both took to Twitter to lend their voices in support of #EndSARS Protests.
“I can’t bear to see this torture and brutalization that is continuing to affect nations across our planet!” the singer wrote on social media.
“It’s such a betrayal to the citizens, the very people put in place to protect are the ones we are most afraid of being murdered by!”
“My heart is broken for Nigeria man!! It is unbearable to watch! I’m so proud of your strength and not letting up on the fight for what’s right! #ENDSARS” she concluded.
