Recently, BLACKPINK’s Jennie took to her account to express her admiration for the artist Tyler, the Creator, sharing a post from his account on her story with the caption, “Pure love for this.”
However, this seemingly innocuous gesture did not sit well with everyone. Some netizens reacted with anger, criticizing Jennie for endorsing Tyler despite his controversial past, which includes problematic social media posts and lyrics. Comments such as, “Oh… Jennie, I thought you were a girl’s 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, she really values herself so little as a woman,” reflect the frustration of those who feel let down by her association with him.
On the other hand, many fans rushed to Jennie’s defense, arguing that it is unfair to blame her for Tyler’s past actions. One fan pointed out, “Blame Jennie because Tyler, the Creator wrote nasty things 14 years ago? Where’s y’all logic?”
As discussions continued, netizens highlighted the fact that Tyler’s recent album has gone viral, attracting millions of listeners worldwide. They suggested that it wouldn’t be surprising if Jennie was unaware of his previous controversies, with numerous fans admitting they only recently learned about his problematic tweets.
