Culcha Candela Apologizes for Dismissive Response to Fan’s Birthday Request

The band faced backlash after screenshots of their Instagram exchange with a fan went viral, prompting a public apology for their tone.

A young fan asked Culcha Candela on Instagram if they would perform at her 18th birthday, a question she later said was meant as a joke.
The band’s response, calling the question ‘frech’ (‘cheeky’) and comparing themselves to Drake and Cro, was criticized as arrogant by social media users.
Screenshots of the exchange gained significant attention online, with over three million views and widespread commentary on TikTok and X.
In response to the backlash, Culcha Candela issued a public apology on Instagram, admitting their tone was inappropriate and expressing regret for their actions.
The band clarified that the incident occurred some time ago and that they have since reconciled with the fan, urging others to leave her in peace.
