Becky G, like many celebrities, went on Twitter to discuss her thoughts on the shooting and death of Alton Sterling. But many of the singer's followers were upset about what she had to say. "My heart hurts. All lives matter," the Shower singer
tweeted. After receiving backlash, she explained herself, "There is a
reason I didn't use the hashtag. All i'm saying is that everyone
deserves to live. No ones life should be taken away."
The 19-year-old
star then deleted both tweets, but many followers captured the messages before their removal.
Becky
then attempted a second time to get her point across and tweeted, "My
prayers go out to the family and loved ones of #AltonSterling we are
with you." But her followers continued to ask her why she had deleted
her first messages.
That's when Becky replied and expressed her apologies for using the phrase all lives matter. "Also,
about my tweet earlier. There was no bad intention behind what said. I
apologize," she wrote. "Wasn't aware of the affiliation of those
specific words and a previous "movement" that was started against the
issue. My apologies."
That's when many fans thanked her for
apologizing, one follower tweeted, "It takes a really big person to
apologize for something that you simply just had good intentions for all
is forgiven and thank u."
