This is so deeply fucked up. I don’t even have the words to begin to try to defend or explain the creative process or how negatively this could impact the integrity and quality of the music that’s made. I’m tired.

I’m struggling to find words about Asifa’s gang-rape and murder; sharing this image is a first step, as not everyone knows about this tragedy. We need people to be outraged, and then with our fury we can roar and fight and obliterate this evil. #justiceforasifa

I feel slayed by this news. I had such good fortune to interact with her through my father. Their relationship was so special. Thinking of her with so much love and gratitude for what she gave the world. Sending love to her family
