It comes after the star praised the community of black female artists in the music industry for supporting each other on their road to stardom.

She explained: “There’s a real community of us coming through that’s really exciting to watch. I feel like there is something unspoken between us all; that we always support each other. What I am trying to project is that your gain will always be my gain and vice versa.”
She said she wants five black women to be nominated for Best New Artist at next year’s BRIT Awards and another five to be shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
As she hopes for further recognition for her fellow black artists, she recognizes that different voices have changed in what was once an almost exclusively male-led music industry.

She said: “It’s definitely getting better. I’m seeing a lot more black women in music and film.
“We’re being pushed to the top and getting airtime. People want to tell our stories, show our faces, dress us and take us to events.
“It’s evil, but in the same breath I hope we don’t let that blind us either. I hope we enjoy it but also really understand the power and influence we have.
