Rak-Su have opened up about the racist treatment they have received in the UK and have commented on the treatment of people of colour by police in America.

The X Factor winning boy band consists of Ashley Fongho, 27, Jamaal Shurland, 28, Myles Stephenson, 28, and Mustafa Rahimtulla, 29, and were formed in Watford.

The lads say they have been subjected to vile racist treatment over the years – both by thugs on the streets and by trolls online.

Speaking out about their experiences, the band hope to raise awareness about racism while America is experiencing protests and riots following the death of George Floyd, who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes last week.
