Though the circumstances for the viral crying clip were not made clear, many have reacted harshly nonetheless, accusing her of trying to get sympathy. Others were still critical of the group alegedly acting as though nothing had happened at the time.

Shes trying so hard to squeeze out them tears for sympathy points. Imagine an artists that so many black people supported just for her to treat our culture like a costume for her birthday party to not only joke with but to make fun of and belittle and display endless stereotypes https://t.co/YduOfKxQyV
