Back in 2016, a number of high profile musicians including Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Pink and U2’s Bono released “23 Ways You Could Be Killed If You Are Black in America,” detailing systemic racism in the United States. Keys, alongside several more musicians such as Mary J. Blige, A$AP Ferg, Offset, Rapsody, Ty Dolla $ign, Vic Mensa, 070 Shake, Khalid, Asian Doll and Summer Walker have now released a follow-up video called “17 Ways Black People Are Killed in America,” which urges Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to launch a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) during the administration’s first 100 days.

Last year saw a number of incidents reignite the Black Lives Matter movement across the United States, While a vast number of these demonstrations urged for criminal justice reforms, other incidents such as COVID-19 affecting a disproportionate number of Black Americans have also been in the movement’s spotlight.

“17 Ways Black People Are Killed in America” referenced the deaths of Elijah McClain, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, who all passed away since the release of the 2016 video. Although Biden ran on a platform of criminal justice reform, Keys stressed the necessity of keeping his administration accountable.

Not many people had a better year in 2020 (at least career-wise) than Khalid. He snagged five Grammy nominations and won five Billboard awards. Despite the spotlight that comes with that kind of achievement, the “Better” singer has successfully managed to keep his private life just that: private. If Khalid’s dating anyone, he’s kept it quiet. However, it’s not surprising that the artist’s doing things his way when you consider Khalid’s zodiac sign.

Khalid was born on Feb. 11, 1998, under the sign of Aquarius. This air sign is known for doing their own thing. They’re quirky individuals who don’t concern themselves with what other people think of them. Instead, they follow their passions and allow the right kind of people (those who appreciate them) to be drawn to them. They’re kind of a walking contradiction. On the one hand, they’re friendly, sociable, and the life of the party. On the other, Aquarius is surprisingly private and reserved. You simply can’t box an Aquarius like Khalid in, which is just a part of what makes them so charming and irresistible — so long as you enjoy their eccentricities. Here’s what else we can surmise about what Khalid is like as a partner based on his zodiac sign.
