Kenyan Musician Avril has left fans concerned after sharing photos of her bruised and swollen face on social media.
In one photo, she was bruised up and had a bandage covering the bruise, but some blood could be seen. In another, her face was puffed up.
The musician went ahead to call out her baby daddy J Blessings for physically assaulting her.
Kenyans have expressed their love for the musician and the #istandwithavril is currently trending.
Below are some comments:
"What is happening to the people who are supposed to love and protect us?!my heart goes out to anyone experiencing any form of abuse. It's not a matter to betaken lightly nor joked about rather showing support and tenderness to victims, sending love❤️#istandwithavril."
"I'm strongly against violence and there are better ways to settle differences."
"I pray that God keeps her safe and deals with the persons whose hands did that to her. If its really domestic violence? Sis RUN! Don't wait for it to get worse. Remember if he hits you once, he will kill you one day. Thats how most of our sisters lost their lives in the hands of men. May God keep all of you safe in your marriages and relationships, keep God in the middle of your companionship. No man of God can ever abuse his woman."
While the pair never publicly confirmed their relationship, they have been romantically involved and together they have a son.
