The intense events occurring in Baltimore over the death of Freddie Gray have garnered the attention of the media, the nation, some of the most prestigious platforms, as well as Hollywood.

While many celebrities have broken their silence on the violent outbreak between authorities and residents of the city during protests, Beyonce is the next big name to speak out.

Taking to her Instagram, the Queen Bey posted a photo of a man wearing a flag as a cape on his back, which reads “Freddie Gray” multiple times, captioning it in honor of seeking help for the NAACP.

She writes:

People are hurting.

Join us in supporting the NAACP to help in the cleanup efforts and to provide housing, food and supplies to those affected by the unrest in Baltimore. http://beyonce.lk/naacp

While her husband Jay Z hasn’t spoken out on the events, NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony headed straight for the Maryland city, and was seen marching with protestors today.

The baller has expressed his grief many times over recent police brutalities, but he was spotted walking through the streets, standing strong with the rest of the city.

Alongside with Melo, Kevin Liles was seen in the streets marching with protestors, but a CNN reporter didn’t believe that it was him.

Reported Brian Todd approached the record executive for an interview, but stopped himself short, as he thought that he was Russell Simmons pretending to be Kevin Liles.

The reporter couldn’t seem to believe that Liles was really Kevin Liles, and the footage is pretty crazy.
