Halsey took to Twitter to speak out after a user accused her of never claiming her black side.
Halsey's dad is black and her mom is white.
She wrote on Twitter, I'm white passing. It's not my place to say "we" it's my place to help. I am in pain for my family but nobody is gonna kill me based on my skin color. I've always been proud of who I am.
In a 2017 Playboy interview she said she identifies as a black woman.
Halsey has been actively protesting in Los Angeles where she was struck with rubber bullets.
If you are not white but your looks are white passing have you checked your privilege?
