Despite the innocent nature of her post, it sparked a wave of criticism from select netizens who took issue with her endorsing Tyler, given his controversial history. Some social media users expressed their disappointment, questioning her commitment to female empowerment. One user lamented, “Oh… Jennie, I thought you were a girl’s girl??? The way you just made a song about women’s empowerment, but what is this? Disgusting! You can do better.”

Conversely, many fans rallied around Jennie, defending her right to celebrate an artist separate from his past mistakes. One supporter called out the hypocrisy in blaming Jennie for Tyler’s earlier controversies, stating, “Blame Jennie because Tyler, the Creator wrote nasty things 14 years ago? Where’s y’all logic?”

As the debates intensified, commenters raised awareness of Tyler’s recent surge in popularity, with his latest album reaching millions of listeners globally. This spurred speculation that Jennie might not have been fully aware of his history, as many fans confessed they too were just becoming acquainted with his past behavior.

In an age where celebrity endorsements and affiliations are scrutinized, Jennie’s actions have illuminated the complexities of audience expectations versus personal expression in the realm of fame.
