“It’s a positive sign that someone of a stature, that has a presence like that, is focused in the moment of what Minnesotas are focused on,” he said.

“Earlier today, Governor Walz mentioned having a human conversation with me – a dad and a black man in pain,” he wrote.Jay-Z also urged politicians to “do the right thing and prosecute all those responsible for the murder of George Floyd to the fullest extent of the law”.
“I prevail on every politician, prosecutor, and officer in the country to have the courage to do what is right,” he said.
“Have the courage to look at us as humans, dads, brothers, sisters, and mothers in pain. And look at yourselves.”
Beyonce has also spoken out over Floyd’s killing via her own Instagram page, commenting: “We need justice for George Floyd. We all witnessed his murder in broad daylight.
We’re broken and we’re disgusted. We cannot normalise this pain.”
“Yes, I am human, a father and a black man in pain and I am not the only one. This is just a first step. I am more determined to fight for justice than any fight my would-be oppressors may have.”
