Post image

Camila Cabello was huge 2017-2019, but her popularity really dwindled post Covid. What other musicians were popular in the 2010s but fizzled after 2020s?

I had to Google her controversies because I looked up to Camila as someone who had a thriving career despite having setbacks from OCD. Very disappointing to hear about her racist remarks :(

For those who want the details,

“In December 2019, Camila Cabello issued an apology after old offensive and racist posts from her early teenage years resurfaced on a Tumblr account. The posts featured derogatory memes, stereotypes about the Black community, and the repeated use of the N-word."

Even if he was, look, people do and say all sorts of stupid shit as teenagers all the time. You dont even mean it, and it was just a process of finding yourself that some people did better than others on in. Im a person of colour (or whatever Americans call it) myself and even I get it.

Worrying the censor will remove his post most likely. Lots of right wing dark money all over social media, so it wouldn't surprise me if they have censors in place to remove words that paint them in a bad light.
