In his appreciation speech, the \u201cAfrican Giant\u201d singer said that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll like to use this opportunity to say that sometime around 1835, there was a mission to turn Africa into a dominated nation. Now is the time to overturn that and go back to the royalty that we were, because, in order for black lives to matter, Africa must matter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
