Sevyn Streeter has received an apology from the Philadelphia 76ers after the team blocked her from singing the National Anthem due to her “We Matter” t-shirt.

The R&B singer was told two minutes before her scheduled performance that she was not allowed to sing and instead, one of the team’s dancers performed instead.

“We are sorry that this happened,” the team said in a statement (via Huffington Post). “After receiving feedback from our players, basketball operations staff and ownership group, we believe that the wrong decision was made, and Sevyn should have been welcome to sing. We apologize to her.”

Sevyn Streeter was scheduled to perform the National Anthem at a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game on Wednesday (October 26), but the team wouldn’t let her sing because she was wearing a “We Matter” jersey.

The 30-year-old R&B singer posted an Instagram video explaining the situation after she was denied her stage time.

“I was supposed to sing the national anthem at the @sixers and @okcthunder game in #Philly but minutes before @sixers organization said I could not because I was wearing a “We Matter” jersey. WTF!” Sevyn captioned the below video.

Sevyn opened up to the Associated Press about what happened.

“I’d say two minutes before we were about to walk out… the organization told me that I could not wear my shirt while singing the national anthem at their game,” Sevyn said. “I was never given any kind of dress code. I was never asked beforehand to show my wardrobe… I was angry, extremely, extremely angry and disappointed and honestly brought to tears by all of it. It broke my heart. Honestly, I was very excited about being able to perform the national anthem. I was really looking forward to that.”

Here is how the 76ers responded: “The Philadelphia 76ers organization encourages meaningful actions to drive social change. We use our games to bring people together, to build trust and to strengthen our communities. As we move from symbolic gestures to action, we will continue to leverage our platform to positively impact our community.”

“My song ‘D4L‘ is all about keeping the spice in your relationship,” the 30-year-old singer told Billboard. “I think it’s sexy and exciting to switch up your looks and give your man different sides of you, do a little role play! I wanted to visually show the different sides that can live within any woman for her man.”

“D4L,” as well as “Prolly” and “All My Love (My Love For You),” is set to be featured on Sevyn‘s anticipated debut studio album Girl Interrupted, which is expected to be released in January.

“Though I’m definitely a fan of Mad Max, I honestly can’t take responsibility for this creative vision,” the 30-year-old singer told The FADER. “I gotta hand it to my director Mike Ho! He turned the feeling and vibes I had while writing ‘Prolly’ into reality! I knew the song was unapologetic, raw, and edgy and he created a treatment/environment that brought it to life!”

“Prolly” is the lead single off of Sevyn‘s anticipated debut studio album called Girl Interrupted, which is expected to be released early next year.
