Maybe it’s related to her contract situation that has been going on recently idk 

or maybe since she’s not able to put out new music by herself , she just needs the coins 

What's the tea? What did I miss?

Quoting the article from The Independent Uk:

“Rina Sawayama has told fans that she “feels really trapped” by her deal with label Dirty Hit Records, and that she “can’t release another album under my current conditions”.

“Sawayama addressed the “intense racist misogyny” she says she has experienced “since last summer. She was seemingly referring to the moment she appeared to call out her labelmate, The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, at Glastonbury Festival over his controversial remarks”.

Feel sorry for Rina and value her artistry more than this misstep.

Will I stream the song? Sure... but girl, i hope you compensate by idk collabing with Jill Biden

What is it with Paris kinda soft-relaunching her music career and why is Sia involved? I remember that moment in that Miley special where Sia and Paris came onstage to sing Stars Are Blind, it was so random

Since This Hell it all went downhill

Knowing what we know now, I really wish we could keep Paris as a funny little relic of the past. But okay 🙃

Well this is very disappointing considering she is trying to break free of her record contract because of racism, and here she is collaborating with a proud racist who has never apologized for her actions. Ever since Rina cancelled her concert in my city and never gave a reason or rescheduled, I already like her a lot less and this is just adding to that. What a shame.

Rina must be REALLY bored atm or something

are you referring to Paris? can you tell me exactly when was she a proud racist?

The song is a summer bop all the way tho.

I guess not particularly proud, but she never truly apologized and instead blamed her racist and homophobic remarks on the abuse she experienced, which is just deflection at its finest. I was abused and never had a racist phase. I said proud because of the fact that her apology was so hollow. Not to mention only found in her book.https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/03/20/paris-hilton-racist-homophobic-comments/

at this point bringing those past comments is more harmful than her making them
because instead of letting them die, you bring more life into them, exposing new people to it

sometimes all somebody needs to do is learn, do better and move on

not everybody needs to make a big scene out of their mistakes, apologizing and begging for forgivness of people who were mostly not even affected by it

and by reading the article, she did apologize, at least for some of what she said

'proud racist' lol you made it sound like she walks around screaming white power at people

It’s good that more people are being exposed to her comments, no? Pop music is so intrinsically tied to the personality of the artist that I would like to know if the person I’m listening to has a racist and homophobic history.

You are right that proud racist was a stretch, but honestly after reading the article again I’m going to say that closeted homophobe is not at all a stretch. 

anyways my original point being that I do not support Paris and Rina’s support of Paris is definitely disappointing in my eyes, and opinion I will not change and have no problem making clear on an online forum, as there is no universe where “I don’t like Rina Sawayama because she is working with a racist” is a harmful comment to make.
