Jesy Nelson Accused Of Blackfishing After 'Boyz' Collab With Nicki Minaj.
Jesy Nelson is addressing accusations of Blackfishing and cultural appropriation leveled against her following the release of her debut solo single "Boyz" with Nicki Minaj.
Over the weekend, the former Little Mix member was accused by social media users of intentionally changing her style in order to appear racially ambiguous in the music video for "Boyz," which dropped Friday.
Nelson addressed the controversy in an Instagram Live with Minaj, saying that she never intended to offend anyone with her music video.
"I personally want to say that my intention was never ever to offend people of color with this video and my song because like I said, growing up as a young girl, this is the music that I listened to," Nelson, 30, was quoted by People as saying.
"These are the videos that I watched and thought were the best.
For me personally, '90s R&B were the best years in music.
I just wanted to celebrate that.
