American singer-songwriter Kehlani Ashley Parrish, widely known as “Kehlani,” has shared her experiences of losing opportunities and deals due to her vocal support for Palestine.
In an interview with the ‘Breakfast Club’ released on Tuesday, Kehlani discussed the backlash she has faced. “I have experienced a lot of pushback,” she said. “I’ve experienced a lot of loss. I’ve experienced a lot of things that were promised and set up for this rollout and album to happen, supposed to be a lot of ‘firsts’… magazines and these things… brand deals and opportunities that we’re sad to lose.
But at the end of the day, I don’t regret doing something that I… I can go to sleep at night. I can go to sleep knowing that, like, what I’ve learned to be as an artist, I’m aligned with.”
Just a few weeks ago, Kehlani voiced her support for Palestine in an Instagram post on May 29th and featured the Palestinian flag in her video for ‘Next 2 U,’ released on May 31st.
Through her support, $500,000 was raised for the people of Gaza, Congo, and Sudan.
