Saudi Arabia claims to promote entertainment and music, spending millions on Western artists to come to the country and perform.

A black Saudi woman rapper released a (dope!) music video called "Girls of Mecca".

After being subjected to racist harassment, she was jailed!
The Governor of Mecca said Asayel Slay's video, which praises women for being strong and beautiful, "insults the customs and people of Mecca"

And had her and others involved arrested.

Asayel's song is amazing. Everyone should listen and share it! This Afrobeat is 🔥

This is Saudi #BlackGirlMagic. This is the ethnic diversity and creativity Saudi Arabia should be helping to encourage, not repress!
