Janelle Monáe,: Singer cut of show because she talked about police brutality

 

Janelle Monáe, was cut short during a live performance when she started to speak about police brutality.

Wondaland Records queen, Janelle Monáe, gave an outstanding performance on NBC’s The TODAY Show Friday August 14.
She turned the crowd up with her versatile catalogue ranging from her first single “Tightrope” to her latest track “Yoga.” However, the show’s anchor wasn’t feeling her set list when Monáe added a message about police brutality at the end of her performance of “Hell You Talmbout”–an empowering track that speaks to the #BlackLivesMatter Movement.
“Yes Lord! God bless America! God bless all the lost lives to police brutality. We want White America to know that we stand tall today,” she said. “We want Black America to know we stand tall today. We will not be silenced…”
In this case, the always poised “Q.U.E.E.N” singer was silenced, as the camera cut away from her and the anchor tried to talk over her.
