Apparently, Ariana Grande is white, racist, and has also plagiarized her new single, '7 Rings'
Ariana Grande faces a huge blacklash after the release of her new single and video, '7 Rings', amid accusations of plagiarism, cultural appropriation and racism. The cuts of the English Court.
Ariana Grande's big week, come on. The singer is sweeping with her new single, '7 Rings', which is expected to be # 1 in the United States and the United Kingdom when their charts are released, but in the midst of glory, her moment of drama and backlash has arrived. The reason? Precisely this latest single, which has unleashed the wave of criticism of the singer for three reasons: the lyrics of the song, its similarities to another theme and the tone of her skin in the video.
Let's go about the lyrics......
In '7 Rings', the singer says' do you like my hair? I just bought it". What will you say, and? Well, the subject of wigs and hairpieces is something very much of the black culture, and it is still seen with some negative charge by society. Ariana Grande posted on her instagram the opinion of someone who repeatedly claimed that Grande would end racism thanks to the lyrics. She hung up thinking she was serious, for some reason, and deleted it seconds later.
When the backlash exploded, the singer replied that "she thought she was saying it like 'how nice that someone white also uses hairpieces away from the negative stereotype they usually have." She later apologized for it and said she was grateful that at least the debate was opened with it.
Let's continue with the plagiarism
The key to '7 Rings' is the sampling of 'My Favorite Things', but it is clear that there is a song beyond that. And according to artist Princess Nokia, a song of hers. The artist has published - and subsequently deleted - on Instagram the comparison between '7 Rings' and 'Mine', and in fact, she has also shared videos on Twitter in which she reacts to the song and compares it with her own.
The reality is that both songs have a more than obvious resemblance, but let's be honest: girls, you are both trapping and that kind of phrasing can be found in 7.5 million songs according to someone kicks Spotify. Can Princess Nokia take advantage of to throw in some shade and do it with grace? Absolutely, we actually live for it. Could you sue her for plagiarism? Ylenia_Padilla_En_Tu_Vida.wav
Let's close with the skin....
It turns out that Ariana Grande is white. You may not remember it, but there was a moment in her video where she was not the woman of color we see in her latest videos. Ariana Grande is very white. But not the "good, mulatita, with Latino features" type. No, what is white. On a scale from white Eskimo to Lorde, we wouldn't know where to place her, but white nonetheless.
But of course, between the fact that the singer has spoken with a certain accent for a few years - American Beatriz Luengo - and that it is painted with bitumen in the videos - in which to top it off she gives herself to the trap -, because she already has a handful of people yelling at her in the streets: «racist! Choriza! Alcoholic, alcoholic! '
In the end, it is the usual in pop: reach the top and you will have a backlash at the same level. Now you are successful, now you are racist. Now you are on the crest of the wave, now it turns out that you paint yourself. It’s heaven & hell, being Geri Halliwell.
