R&B star Lizzo went on a Twitter tirade late Thursday after security guards allegedly attacked members of her team.
“Friendly reminder that you don’t have to say the ‘n word’ to be racist. That’s not the sole requirement. Asking people to prove racism is another tool the oppressor uses to marginalize and discredit us,” the R&B star tweeted Friday.Thursday after her triumphant Milwaukee concert at the Harley-Davidson Roadhouse. She took to Twitter to call out the staff’s racism and ask for footage of them allegedly tackling, slapping and manhandling her hair stylist and stylist.
That video has since been removed, and representatives for the singer did not respond to The Times’ request for comment about it. Festival organizers promptly issued a statement via Twitter overnight that praised Lizzo’s performance, condemned racism and announced plans to investigate the incident.
