George Floyd: Adele warns against hijacking protests

British singer, Adele has reacted to the brutal death of George Floyd which has sparked protests across the world.

Floyd was killed while getting arrested by four white cops in Minnesota.

One of the officers pinned him down to the ground with a knee on his neck which must have led to his death.

Reacting to the protests, Adele warned against having it hijacked because it is only against racism, police brutality and inequality.

She shared: "George Floyd’s murder has sent shockwaves around the world, there are countless others that haven’t. Protests and marches are happening all over the globe simultaneously and only gaining momentum.

"So be righteously angered but be focused! Keep listening, keep asking and keep learning!

"It’s important we don’t get disheartened, hijacked or manipulated right now. This is about systematic racism, this is about police violence and it’s about inequality. And this isn’t only about America! Racism is alive and well everywhere.

"I wholeheartedly stand in solidarity with the fight for freedom, liberation and justice #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #saytheirnames".
