Beach Bunny frontwoman Lili Trifilio apologized after a track she wrote to honor the memory of George Floyd stirred up controversy on social media.
frontwoman Lili Trifilio apologized on Sunday after a track she wrote to honor the memory of George Floyd stirred up controversy on social media.
The lilting tribute, titled"George Floyd," finds the indie rocker ruminating on the current state of the world as protests rock cities across the country following Floyd's death.
However, it appears some commenters may not have been too keen on Trifilio using the tragedy for lyrical inspiration, despite her donating all proceeds from the song directly to the late Minneapolis man's memorial fund. The Instagram post in which she had originally shared the song -- and the comments critical of it -- has since been removed.
"I am deeply sorry for anyone I upset in writing a solidarity track for George Floyd," Beach Bunny tweeted after removing the song from Instagram."It was not appropriate and I hear you. You raised $1,310.16 with your donations which will go directly to the Floyd Family." Over the weekend, Trifilio also used the Beach Bunny Twitter account to bring attention to the protests happening in the band's native Chicago, urging fans to"protest if you can" and sharing links to the Chicago Community Bond Fund after police arrested more than 1,000 protesters.I am deeply sorry for anyone I upset in writing a solidarity track for George Floyd. It was not appropriate and I hear you. You raised $1,310.
