Kehlani previously performed in the UK and found herself in an uncomfortable position, to say the least.
UK concert triggers Kehlani
Taking to her Instagram Stories earlier this month, Kehlani shared that she was sexually assaulted by one of her fans. While walking through the crowd.
Unexpectedly, the singer shared that while she was walking through the crowd, she could feel a fan putting a hand up her skirt and tugging at her underwear to reach for her genitals. The Distraction singer described being “sick to [her] stomach” after the encounter.
“As a victim of sexual assault, I am endlessly triggered and mindblown.”
‘Respect me as a human’
In her first post, Kehlani shared that she doesn’t care “how sexual [her] music is” or what perception fans may have of her because of it. She added that this doesn’t give anyone a reason to touch her inappropriately in the way that it happened.
The singer currently does not know who the perpetrator is. As she had been walking through a crowd when the incident occurred. But, she made sure to set some boundaries with her fans after this horrific incident took place.

“I put it out there, what happened, so I that I can set a proper boundary with my audience, with my fanbase — the people who do come to see me out or come to a concert. I set that boundary so that you guys can know how to please just respect me as a human, me as an individual.”
Speaking on the press, Kehlani said that she has had countless publications reach out to her about the incident. However, the singer shared in a TikTok that she doesn’t have any comment on the matter and solely addressed the situation “to set a boundary” with her fans.
The artist captioned her video “ I wish I could live in a bubble with only my fans but I don’t. Thank you to those that love on me so hard. Tour resumes in January!”
