Overview

  • Old tweets from 2012 to 2018 containing racist, xenophobic, classist, and fatphobic remarks went viral this week, drawing widespread online condemnation.
  • Safdie privatized her Instagram and X accounts after users launched a cancellation campaign over the resurfaced posts.
  • In her only response, the 27-year-old singer attributed the comments to teen immaturity and the later development of her frontal lobe without offering a formal apology.
  • Coach Soledad Pastorutti reposted one of the most offensive tweets with a poetic lyric to ease tensions between the artists.
  • Safdie is set to join Pastorutti’s team on La Voz Argentina as an invited artist starting July 28.
