"When we needed money for Bail for Baltimore protesters, I asked hit (sic) Jay up, as I had for Ferguson, wired tens of thousands in mins," Hampton wrote.

She continued, "When BLM needed infrastructure money for the many chapters that were growing like beautiful dandelions, Carters wrote a huge check."

"Really don't understand how people try to build a story around a series of tweets," wrote Hampton. "I never tweeted nor told anyone I was 'on the front lines' calling Jay & B for stacks. It's true they gave, which is why I tweeted it."

Alicia Gazer, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, told Buzzfeed News that while the power couple has shown up to rallies, they have not been in contact with them.

"Quite frankly, we are not directly in touch with the Carters," said Alicia Gazer. "We do not know them. We have not had a conversation with them."
