The Hip Hop community had much to say regarding the viral video of 37-year-old Alton Sterling being shot to death by Baton Rouge Police including Chuck D and The Game.
Normally silent during socially controversial moments, Drake posted on Instagram today (July 6) to give his thoughts on the tragedy.
“I am grateful to be able to call America my second home,” said Drizzy. “Last night, when I saw the video of Alton Sterling being killed, it left me feeling disheartened, emotional and truly scared. I woke up with a strong need to say something.”
