Kehlani has spoken about being sexually assaulted by a concert-goer at their recent Manchester show, saying it "made me sick to my stomach".

On Monday (12 December) Kehlani played in Manchester, and on their Instagram story after the show, Kehlani spoke out about being sexually assaulted by someone in the crowd.

Kehlani wrote in the now-deleted post, "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 continued. "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 added, "This shit made me sick to my stomach. As a victim of sexual assault, I am endlessly triggered and mindblown."

Kehlani's Blue Water Road tour will continue in January in New Zealand and Australia.
