The music industry is no stranger to controversies. The paparazzi is always hounding our favorite pop stars and almost everything that takes place in their lives ends up hitting the tabloids. Here are some of the most controversial names in the music business right now.
Lil Wayne
When it comes to controversies, we cannot help but mention Lil Wayne. Most recently, we have been seeing him cozying up to Nicki Minaj. They claim to be friends but the media is speculating that there might be something more to it. Of course, this is not the first time when Lil Wayne’s antics made it to the tabloids. His first major controversy was when he was jailed over drug charges years ago. His extravagant lifestyle has always been a topic of gossip in the industry.
Many even say that Lil Wayne is more popular for his partying than he is for his music. Over the years, he has also developed a notorious reputation due to his love for gambling. He reportedly bet T-Pain $10K per game on EA Sports Madden. With esports on the rise, especially in Asia, there are portals like AsiaBet that provide all the best online gambling for Thai players. Whether esports, traditional sports, or online casinos, they have you covered. They assist in finding the most generous welcome bonuses, give a full list of blacklisted sites, and provide an easy-to-use on how to start betting.
Bella Poarch
Bella Poarch is the most followed TikToker in the world. It is surprising to know that she originally hails from the Philippines and she had served in the US Navy before she went viral on TikTok. Millions of her followers obsess over her cute facial expressions and stylish fashion sense. Nonetheless, she decided to use her massive following on social media to kickstart a musical career.
In 2021, she launched a song called “Build a Bitch” and it became an instant hit among her fans. Nevertheless, she has also ended up getting harsh criticism for her heavy usage of Autotune. Her haters mock her by saying that she should stick to lip-syncing on TikTok because she has no talent. We are all eagerly waiting for what Poarch does next and we are yet to find out if she can prove her critics wrong.
Kanye West
Kanye West is considered a living legend by rap lovers around the globe and his songs always top the charts. But nowadays, he has been making the news for all the wrong reasons. At first, he drew criticism from a lot of his fans for coming out as a supporter of Donald Trump in spite of Trump’s Presidency being accused of racism. Then, he announced his candidacy for the US Presidential election despite having no administrative experience at all.
After that, he had a major meltdown in one of his political rallies where he publicly admitted to “almost” having killed his own daughter. In response to this, Kim Kardashian ended up filing for divorce. His separation from Kardashian has made him the butt of jokes in showbiz, especially after she started dating stand-up comedian Pete Davidson. Will Kanye be able to move on and get his life back on track? We hope to find that out soon.
Camila Cabello/Shawn Mendes
Camila Cabello is definitely an up-and-coming star in the world of music. Her melodious tracks are absolutely breath taking and fans are in love with her sweet voice. But she has recently become embroiled in controversy due to her breakup with Shawn Mendes. After their collaboration in the No. 1 trending song around the world, “Senorita,” fans started looking at the pair as a match made in heaven.
The breakup has caught everybody completely off-guard as nobody was expecting it. In fact, Mendes gave us a peek into his grief in his recently released single which is called “It’ll Be Okay.” It made headlines around the globe, but we really hope the pair reunite because we do miss seeing them together.
