'Over Matty Healy' What's Up With The Tweets Regarding Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama Controversy?

The British singer and songwriter Charli XCX made headlines when she unfollowed Rina Sawayama, a Japanese-British singer, actor, and model, on all of her social media platforms. The two had previously collaborated on various music projects and had a solid connection, but new rumours indicate that things may have soured between them.

What Is The Controversy All About Involving Charli XCX?

The dispute started when Rina Sawayama publicly criticized Matty Healy, the label director at the Dirty Hit company she is affiliated with. In one of his podcasts, Matty allegedly displayed potential bigotry, according to Rina. His reaction was judged unacceptable when she brought up the subject with him. Because of this, Rina made the decision to criticize Matty Healy in front of the public.

As a result, Matty Healy received harsh criticism from a large number of people online. In fact, he was subsequently fired by Dirty Hit from his role as one of the label’s directors. Charli XCX appears to have sided with Matty Healy in this dispute rather than Rina Sawayama. Many people think that this might be because Charli XCX is presently dating Matty Healy’s bandmate, George Daniel.

In addition to deciding to support Matty Healy during the argument, Charli XCX also voiced her distaste for Rina’s most recent song, “This Hell.” Even sharing a phrase from the song on Instagram, she said: “Apparently, I’m going to hell.”

What’s Up With The ‘Over Matty Healy’ Situation Now?

Following a recent scandal in which Matty Healy faced harsh criticism from internet followers when Rina Sawayama claimed that he had engaged in racist behaviour both in public and in private, Charli XCX decided to stand by Matty Healy. She originally stopped following Rina on social media and then posted a veiled critique of Rina’s new song “This Hell” on Instagram. As soon as this information started to spread online, fans of both artists conjectured that the formerly friendly musicians would be getting into a fight, with Matty Healy at the centre of it. Since then, this incident has received a lot of online attention, eliciting a range of responses from individuals.
