American singer-songwriter Kehlani (she/they) has released a statement on their Instagram stories speaking out about someone in the crowd at their recent performance sexually assaulting her.

The singer played Manchester's O2 Victoria Warehouse where they had their "underwear" pulled down for an alleged fan to touch their "genitals."

In the now deleted post, Kehlani wrote: "I’ve made video after video after video and deleted it because I don’t want any video of me as angry, triggered, crying upset as I am anywhere.

"I don’t care how sexual you deem my music, my performances, my fun with my friends dancing at clubs, or ME…," Kehlani added. "That does not give any of you the right to cross a boundary like sticking your hands up my skirt & pulling my underwear to TOUCH MY GENITALS as I am being escorted through a crowd after performing."

They continued: "This shit made me sick to my stomach. As a victim of sexual assault, I am endlessly triggered and mindblown."

Fans have flocked to support the musician with continuous tweets.

Kehlani done put out so much energy, happiness, and light into the bwr tour these last months for everybody where now someone completely took away their peace by violating them. I hope she really finds the space to heal and take care of herself during this break, all she deserves
