R\u0026amp\u003BB singer Jully Black is still getting hateful messages on social media after changing the lyrics to O Canada at the NBA All\u002DStar Game.
“This is what I’m getting as a BORN and raised Canadian,” the platinum-selling artist responded, adding the hashtag #HateRunsDeep.
The scathing email, which was addressed to the singer’s executive assistant and the Canadian Stage Company, went on to call Black a “cry baby” and the N-word. The author also threatened Black, writing, “You watch what happens to you if you ever try and pull this s— again.” Throat singer Tanya Tagaq supported Canada’s Queen of R&B, with the 2014 Polaris Music Prize winner writing in the comments, “It’s word one of one song and it’s the truth.”
“This is disgusting. The subtle and powerful change you included in the anthem is longer overdue,” another person wrote.When asked by TSN’s Kayla Grey about the change, thesinger said she had reached out to some Indigenous friends and asked them about swapping the lyrics. “I got some feedback, and so I really dissected the lyrics, to really sing it with intention,” said Black. “Now I’m singing it in a whole other meaningful way.”“I didn’t know how much this would mean to him. But now I do.”
