Halsey has hit out at criticism for not ‘claiming her black side’, stating the fact she is ‘white passing’ influences the way she talks about issues.

The 25-year-old singer has been taking part in protests sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, but was subjected to a backlash over the language she uses about the subject, despite being biracial.

A Twitter user wrote in a now-deleted post: ‘Notice how @Halsey never claims her black side, but she “supports.” Stop being ignorant.

She’s never claimed her Black side. ‘This is why I will NEVER support her. On her post she says “let black ppl speak,” not “let our ppl speak.” Nah, f**k her (sic)’.
