Sophie Straat repeats controversial call during performance in Genk

Sophie Straat, the Dutch singer, performed on Friday evening at the Absolutely Free Festival (AFF) in Genk. This was her first concert in Belgium since the controversy that arose during the Gentse Feesten.

At the end of her performance, Straat reiterated her earlier controversial statement, asking white men to step back. Her exact words were: "Are you white? Are you cis? Are you heterosexual? Are you male? Step back."

This statement followed previous outrage over her comments about neo-Nazis and equality, which had drawn significant attention in recent weeks. However, she did not provide any further clarification on this repeated remark during the festival in Genk.

Reactions to her statements have been mixed, but it is clear that her words are once again prompting discussion. The emergence of this controversy shows that her message, despite the earlier uproar, remains relevant to a portion of the audience.
