It was reported by TMZ that superstar Beyonce will be honoring her late fan after he passed away. The Grammy award winner wrote on her website, “Rest In Power O’Shae Sibley.”
It is rather inspiring to see two major personalities coming together to take a stand for the victim. Gabrielle Union has previously worked on projects as an actor, which has highlighted a similar problem that still looms large in the society.

Gabrielle Union once took on the hat of a producer and an actor simultaneously for a project that’s close to her heart. In the movie Inspection, she plays the role of a parent who kicks her 25-year-old son out of the house when she finds that his child might be part of the LGBTQ community.
On donning the hat of the homophobic parent, she said, “She was full of rage, and she couldn’t direct it at the institution because she had dug in, so she directed it at her child because she got sold a bill of goods. Oh, you found the wound. Welcome. And then it started to fester and grow like a f*****g cancer.”
