Camila Cabello Addresses Her Backup Dancer's Blackface Issue

As people online criticized the singer for the tanned backup dancer, Cabello took to Twitter to respond to the criticism that was slammed against her. "Hey! So this dude was supposed to be a White man with a terrible spray tan," said the "Never Be the Same" singer noted in her statement, contending that they expected that everyone in the performance need not be Latin. "The point wasn't to try to make everyone look Latin either," Camila Cabello noted. The "Señorita" singer further noted that they made every person on the performance look like "an over-the-top 80's character" like the White man with a "terrible orange spray tan." In her tweet, Cabello also included a post from her backup dancer, Pearce, a photo of himself wearing his tan.

"On my team, we try to create a culture of kindness, joy, and love, and you could feel that this week," the singer noted in a separate Twitter post. Cabello also acknowledged her "dream team" and her fans for their continuous support.

It was not the first time Cabello was slammed by people online over race. The Things mentioned that in 2019, the "Liar" singer was slammed over her racial remarks on her old Tumblr posts after she was accused of reblogging a post that contained an N-word. During that time, Cabello was reported to issue an apology.
