Rosalía apologizes after publishing video about Argentina's defeat in the World Cup
The Spanish artist clarified that she reposted a clip that included her song "La Perla" without reading the message about the Albiceleste team after receiving thousands of criticisms
The Spanish singer Rosalía was involved in a great controversy after sharing a video on her social networks that alluded to the defeat of the Argentina soccer team in the World Cup. Faced with the wave of questions and the rapid indignation from thousands of users, the Catalan interpreter apologized to clarify that it was an involuntary oversight.
The incident had its origin on TikTok, when former actress Mia Khalifa published a short video using the song “La Perla” from Rosalía's catalog as a musical background. The Spanish singer, upon realizing that her song was playing in the publication, decided to share the clip on her account. However, he omitted to read the text superimposed on the images, which contained mockery of the Albiceleste team's performance in the World Cup event.
The reaction of the Argentine community was immediate. In a matter of minutes, the platforms were flooded with messages of reproach towards the artist. The tension escalated to such a level that a large group of followers began to promote campaigns to request the cancellation of his upcoming concerts scheduled in the South American country, where he has planned performances as part of his “Lux Tour.”
Faced with the magnitude reached by the controversy, Rosalía went to the stories of her Instagram account to stop the controversy and address her Argentine audience directly.
With a brief and forceful message, the artist acknowledged the mistake and ruled out any intention to mock the country's sporting sentiment.
"I hit share because 'La Perla' was playing and I didn't even read what it said, my bad. Sorry," the singer wrote on her profile to clear up the misunderstanding.
