Absolutely despicable, but not surprising today.
Apparently, this multi-millionaire was recently a slave, since her word rearranging is all about slavery! And notice that 'ESSENCE' from this point forward will be featuring this "version" of the Anthem.

Jill Scott Changes the Lyrics to the National Anthem, Sparking Controversy
Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter Jill Scott is facing backlash after she changed the lyrics to the National Anthem at a recent Essence Fest performance. Essence posted her version of the “Star-Spangled Banner” that calls America “home of the slave” to Twitter Wednesday.
Essence called it “the only National Anthem we will be recognizing from this day forward.”
Responses were soon filled with criticism. Lavern Spicer, a Republican who is running for Congress in Florida, called it, “a WOKE rendition of the National Anthem where she changed the lyrics to speak about how oppressed Black people are.”
“For reference, Jill Scott’s net worth is estimated to be $12 MILLION and is likely much higher. In what way is she oppressed?” she added.
