As the verdict was read in the Derek Chauvin trial on Tuesday (April 20) many celebs took to social media with reactions. All were celebratory but many tweets spoke of the long road that is ahead. Mariah Carey wrote,"Hallelujah!!!!!!!" then followed it up with a second tweet writing,“A beginning...a small grain of hope for our future."
Questlove warned his Twitter following of celebrating too soon,“Remember that “we voted Obama in yay racism is gone!” feeling? Yeah...let’s learn from that.”He went on to say he’s happy for the Floyd family but acknowledged there was“still a slew of mountain to climb.”
Justin Timberlake, Ciara, Common, Ice-T, and former President Barack Obama all echoed Questlove’s sediments with LL Cool J tweeting,“Sentencing is the real litmus test.”
