[@chelseashamim9148]

How is it propaganda?🤨

[@whyisitneeded9012]

@@chelseashamim9148 she says herself she is using her colour and roots to get a wider audience. Especially now with "brics'" they need a trophy.

[@whyisitneeded9012]

@@chelseashamim9148 her song isn't even a Caribbean song it is just pandering to gain influence

[@andylaauk]

She'll never be British.

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

Kind of hard not for her to be since she was born there but alright. 🤣

[@vocalising4218]

What do you mean "she'll never be british" She is british born and bred has lived her entire life in the UK and considers herself British.

[@linseylaville172]

You need to stop the q tip when you feel friction ( that’s called the brain )

Was she the hefty big one?

[@kjh4496]

No that was girl who thought she was black

[@stringer-ik1pc]
