Social activist and writer Dream Hampton revealed on Twitter Sunday that Jay Z and Beyoncé have sent bail money to free arrested protestors demonstrating against police brutality in Baltimore, Maryland, and Ferguson, Missouri.

"I'm going to tweet this and I don't care if Jay gets mad," Hampton posted to Twitter on Sunday.

Hampton, who co-wrote Jay Z's autobiography "Decoded," posted numerous tweets claiming the rap mogul "wired tens of thousands [of dollars] in minutes" after she asked him to help with the protestors' expenses.

"When BLM (Black Lives Matter) needed infrastructure money for the many chapters that we're growing like beautiful dandelions, Carters wrote a huge check," Hampton tweeted.

Hampton also said the hip hop couple insisted that "folks keep quiet" about the contributions.

The tweets, which were eventually deleted, addressed criticism on social media that Jay-Z and Beyoncé had remained silent about black resistance.

"Protest is literally punished with tariffs," Hampton tweeted. "When they fine and arrest people for protesting, more opportunities for exploitation by the state are possible with each encounter."

The tweets below are a sample of the many screengrabs The Complex collected of Hampton's tweets before they were deleted:


Although she deleted the tweets, Hampton told the New York Daily News that she stands by what she said. "It's true. I erased because I didn't want on Twitter."

The hip hop royal couple were recently in Baltimore for the "Rally 4 Peace," where Prince performed his protest song "Baltimore." Jay Z matched donations raised through the rally's website to support the Baltimore Justice Fund.

Hov addressed the hip-hop community about the need for peace during his B-Side concert in New York City on Sunday night when he spoke about the death of up-and-coming Queens rapper Chinx.

"A young man got killed in Queens, his name was Chinx," Jay Z said to the Terminal 5 crowd. "I can't understand; that we are seriously under attack like never before, like never before. Rest in peace to Chinx."

He also made a plea to end black on black violence.

"And we're still killing each other," he said. "We need to understand that we are kings and queens. We are kings and queens and we're under attack. A young man trying make a way out of the hood. We can't have it both ways. We say, 'People, they leave the hood and never wanna come back.' When people go to the hood they get killed. We can't have it both ways. We gotta protect our own."
