Unless you’ve been under a rock lately, you’ve probably heard about the utterly heartbreaking and unnecessary death of George Floyd, yet another black man in America who has died at the hands (or rather, knee) of a white police officer on 25 May 2020.
As the world expresses outrage over the longstanding social injustices against the black community, here’s how some celebrities have been using their social platforms to show their support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Billie Eilish
One of the most controversial posts was from 18-year-old American singer-songwriter, Billie Eilish, who called out anyone who ignorantly continued to say “all lives matter” in response to the movement.

Dua Lipa
Pop star Dua Lipa shared practical resources for getting involved in the fight for justice, saying “Sign the petition, get on the phone, talk to your family, friends and kids. If you are a business owner, make a public statement of support to your black clients, friends and co-workers. We can be the change. We have to start the conversation in our own circles.”
