The popular American singer-songwriter Kehlani Ashley Parrish, also referred to as “Kehlani,” has spoken out about missing out on contracts and possibilities because she supports Palestine.
In an interview with “Breakfast Club,” which was published in the wee hours of Tuesday, the singer disclosed this.
“I have experienced a lot of pushback,” Kehlani 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.”
Report recalls that just a few weeks ago, the singer voiced her support for Palestine in an Instagram post on May 29th, before featuring the Palestinian flag in her video for ‘Next 2 U,’ released on May 31st.
Through the singer’s support, $500,000 was raised for the people of Gaza, Congo and Sudan.
