knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes while other officers watched. The moment, which was captured on video, sparked a slew of protests across the U.S. as people, specifically in the black community, have called for police reform.
Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, got emotional while singing an a cappella rendition of the G.C. Cameron song “,” made popular by Boyz II Men. However, some who viewed the live stream of the funeral took issue with an introduction the artist gave to the performance in which he thanked Floyd for his “sacrifice” that sparked the nationwide protests.“Fifty states are protesting at the same time. This man changed the world — changed the world for the better.
Many were quick to take to Twitter to correct the artist on the definition of "sacrifice," noting that Floyd did not willingly lose his life. "I'm sorry, but Indid not like Ne-Yo saying "thank you for your sacrifice George Floyd." SACRIFICE?!!!!! It makes it seem like George willingly chose to be murdered. Poor choice of words. #GeorgeFloydMemorial,""I thought I was trippin when I heard Ne-Yo say George Floyd’s death was a sacrifice but I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.
