Recently, BLACKPINK’s Jennie took to her account to express her admiration for artist Tyler, the Creator, sharing a post from her account on his story with the caption, “Pure love for it.”
However, this seemingly harmless gesture did not please everyone. Some netizens reacted angrily, criticizing Jennie for supporting Tyler despite his controversial past, which includes problematic social media posts and texts. Comments like, “Oh… Jennie, I thought you were a girl??? The way you just made a song about women’s empowerment, but what is this? Disgusting! You can do better than this.” AND “This girl always supports or befriends guys like this. It’s nothing surprising, but if her fans think they can judge others when she surrounds herself with questionable friends, then she really thinks so little of herself as a woman,” they reflect the frustration of those who feel let down by her association with him.
On the other hand, many fans have rushed to Jennie’s defense, claiming that it is unfair to blame her for Tyler’s past actions. One fan pointed out, “Blaming Jennie because Tyler, the Creator, wrote bad things 14 years ago? Where’s all the logic?”
As discussions continued, netizens pointed to the fact that Tyler’s recent album went viral, attracting millions of listeners around the world. They suggested it wouldn’t be surprising if Jennie wasn’t aware of her previous controversies, with numerous fans admitting they only recently learned of her problematic tweets.
