Sterling was fatally shot in Baton Rouge after police claim they received reports that he was brandishing a gun.
Chilling footage currently circulating on social media shows officers pinning down Sterling and killing him despite the man appearing to be no threat.
Drake, who also watched the viral clip, says Sterling’s death has left him “feeling disheartened, emotional and truly scared”.

"Will there be conviction now? Probably not," she said.
