Halsey took to Twitter to speak out after a user accused her of never claiming her black side.
Halsey’s dad is black and her mom is white.
She wrote on Twitter, I’m white passing. It’s not my place to say “we” it’s my place to help. I am in pain for my family but nobody is gonna kill me based on my skin color. I’ve always been proud of who I am.
