#BlackLivesMatter ✊ | Read my article here: https://t.co/0YZcoZcEVB @ pic.twitter.com/cUarJ71eGB — Anthony Hamilton (@HamiltonAnthony) September 25, 2016 Anthony Hamilton And Fantasia Clear Up “All Lives Matter” Debacle There was a strange bit of confusion earlier today when a flyer advertising a performance starring Fantasia and Anthony Hamilton was tagged with “All Lives Matter.” Charlotte has seen steady protests within the last few days due to the police shooting and killing of Keith Scott. There has been very little positive feedback from a majority of Black Twitter when it comes to anyone shouting “all lives matter,” so one can guess at the type of response the flyer garnered. Both artists have spoken out since the flyer has gone viral. Fantasia created an Instagram video saying the show was canceled. Important message regarding tonight’s event which is now rescheduled for next week. Thank you to the city of Charlotte. God laid it on my heart to do this event. For the full video please visit http://facebook.com/fantasia Anthony Hamilton posted his video directly on Twitter, saying he had no knowledge of the flyer and that he believed “black lives matter.” He pointed to an earlier article he wrote on The Root affirming his stance. Unfortunately, there was a flyer put out with my name on it. That I didn’t approve. An all lives matter flyer. If you really wanna know how I feel about our people, where we are, and the injustice, there’s an article I wrote about 2 days ago. It’s posted. Go to the TheRoot.com and you can see exactly how I feel. I’m a father of six black males. So black lives do matter. And I approve this message. Shout out to both artists for being willing to clear that up.
