Kelechi Okereke started performing live in London at a young age. UK Youth Programs were sponsored by Microsoft, Yale, Harvard, Nike, Reebok and Citi Trends.

Yet, in the same way as other individuals, in the same way as other dark individuals everywhere throughout the world, I felt a feeling of misfortune seeing those pictures of him in the White House and his remarks on subjugation. Okereke goes on: It just appeared to me like a continuation of a specific strain of thought of VIP that [race is no longer] an issue when you arrive at a specific degree of progress. I'm discussing Kanye here however I [remember] OJ Simpson broadly asserting that individuals don't consider him to be a dark man as a result of the achievement he had. Indeed, even somebody like A$AP Rocky, I recollect clearly the remarks he made about not being worried about Black Lives Matter since he was rich and lived in a well-off neighborhood. He wasn't worried about the battles that individuals were embraced to push his locale forward.

[The irony] is that absolutely after what befell him so openly as of late in Sweden, where he was captured and held without bail – the race was plainly a factor in his drawn-out confinement. I wonder if his perspectives have changed. I wasn't simply discussing Kanye in that verse, Okereke explains, there is only a long history of dark performers making those sorts of remarks, and it needs to change.
