The rapper should change his name then.

Please please please - for the love of Mike - ask Mike to change his name to Lover Mike! Look at what he’s saying whilst he is wearing that title line? 🙏

It’s a shame that the so called stars and idiot twitter mobs don’t have the guts to say the same.

I watched it. So emotional 😢

This twat doesn’t speak for me

Yes there were some tears, but 'tearful' isn't the way to describe such a powerful, eloquent speech. It does him a disservice.

What is he going to solve with that tearful speech? He is not the one we feel sorry for.

Would have been helpful to introduce himself before the speech under his real name.

If you're a white person wondering what to do about George Floyd, I have some adviceAs a bespectacled Black gay nerd who grew up in a poor, largely minority neighborhood in Houston, none of this is a surprise to me Lesson 1: Don't take advice from a leftist scandal rag from England... Aww you were doing so poorly, then you let yourself down at the end when it turned out it's just an ask to vote democrat and not republican this year 😂 pathetic Better advice.... question why racists thugged up George's tragedy by looting/burning and all around thuggery. Where were they for Tony?
