OK, so you know Sia. She's a singer and known for her hits "Chandelier," "Cheap Thrills," and "Titanium."
And I'm sure you know Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, and how they have had beef with each other for a few years now.
I know you're probably thinking, This is so random. It is, but stay with me.
So a fan asked Sia about this picture of Nicki Minaj, and Sia replied how she loves Cardi B.
Sia got called out for the mix-up, AND it essentially started a stan war between the already feuding fandoms. #SiaIsOverParty also trended on Twitter:
Sia apologized for the mix-up.
Then, to make matters worse, Sia tweeted this:
It came across very confusing and insensitive — as if she were randomly lecturing two Black women on systemic racism. There was backlash:
No @Sia, YOU are focusing on the problem of systemic racism. Black people are trying to decompress and have lives outside of the system of racism. 😂 Please continue to focus on your issues and we will focus on ours, thanks. https://t.co/wKZXBpKDXS
@Sia @NICKIMINAJ @iamcardib Don’t try to police black women ever again; I don’t care if they were fighting it tooth and nail. It will never be your place as a white person.
@BlairImani @Sia Ohhh, it's bad. Is she really telling 2 Black women that they should care more about racism?? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Sia eventually apologized for her comments and the situation in general, saying, "I totally misunderstood a tweet earlier that has resulted in me making a buffoon out of myself."
I totally misunderstood a tweet earlier that has resulted in me making a buffoon out of myself. Sorry @NICKIMINAJ and @iamcardib if you hear about it. Can I just like you both?
