Helly Luv–aka Helen Abdullah–a Kurdish pop star who moved to the U.S. at 18 to pursue her dreams, has drawn the ire of ISIS with her song “Revolution,” which condemns evil and violence. The video, which was shot in a village near Mosul, where the Kurdish Peshmerga fighters were actively engaged in fighting the terrorist group, has led to Helly Luv receiving death threats.
“I’m going against the most dangerous terrorist group in the whole world but I feel that there are thousands of people risking their lives against them on the battlefield,” she told NBC News. “If my life is at risk but I can get the message to millions of people then that is a privilege.”
