Zara Larsson<\/strong> is clapping back after Chris Brown<\/strong> unexpectedly dragged her name into his latest social media rant over criticism surrounding his recent album. The pop singer responded after Brown referenced her while venting about Pitchfork\u2019s brutal review of his latest project, Brown, which the outlet famously scored a dismal 1.3 out of 10. During his Instagram Stories rant, Brown told critics unhappy with the album, \u201cIn case you not my fan, I don\u2019t want you to take heed to my sh-t. Go take heed to motherf-ckin\u2019 Zara Larsson or any person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Larsson didn’t stay quiet for long. After Brown\u2019s comments began circulating online, the Swedish pop star responded bluntly. \u201cWho the f-ck are you?\u201d Larsson reportedly said while reacting to the unexpected name-drop.<\/p>\n

Larsson has been openly critical of Brown for years, particularly as a result of his history of abuse allegations and controversies. Earlier this 12 months, she revealed during an interview with Cosmopolitan<\/a> that she intentionally blocks certain artists from appearing in her Spotify playlists.<\/p>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are such a lot of artists I even have blocked on Spotify, and all of them are, like, abusers,\u201d Larsson explained within the February interview. \u201cYou actually wouldn\u2019t find, like, a Chris Brown song.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the exchange, fans quickly flooded social media with reactions, with many claiming Brown\u2019s try to mock Larsson actually boosted support for the singer as a substitute. Several users began comparing streaming numbers, album reviews, and Spotify listeners between the 2 artists. \u201cTrust me Sh-t Brown\u2026.we ARE listening to Zara Larsson,\u201d one user wrote online while stating that Larsson currently has more monthly Spotify listeners than Brown.<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s comments toward Larsson got here shortly after Pitchfork\u2019s review<\/a> of Brown went massively viral online, reportedly earning greater than 10 million views across X inside a single day. \u201c[Brown] isn\u2019t romantic or funny or sexy or sultry or dancey or soulful or vulnerable or honest or creative or inspired in anyway,\u201d Pierre wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s soulless, hit-chasing music with nothing going for it if you happen to aren\u2019t personally invested within the Chris Brown culture wars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the backlash and harsh reviews, Brown\u2019s album continues to be projected to debut at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Pitchfork\u2019s now-viral review labeled the project \u201csoulless\u201d and accused Brown of constructing \u201chit-chasing music,\u201d further fueling debate online over the singer\u2019s profession and continued popularity. <\/p>\n

Still, Brown has insisted he stays unfazed by the criticism and previously told fans he knows exactly who his audience is.<\/p>\n

The web drama surrounding Larsson and Brown comes just days after the pop singer made headlines for an unexpected wardrobe malfunction during her performance on NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d show. Larsson helped kick off the morning show\u2019s Summer Concert Series on May 8, performing several of her hits, including \u201cMidnight Sun,\u201d \u201cPretty Ugly,\u201d and \u201cStateside,\u201d in front of fans gathered at Rockefeller Plaza.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, things took a chaotic turn during her performance of \u201cLush Life\u201d when one among her sparkly silver heels reportedly broke mid-dance routine. The moment happened shortly after Larsson invited \u201cToday\u201d co-host Sheinelle Jones onstage to take part in the viral \u201cLush Life\u201d dance, something the singer often does with fans during live shows. \u201c<\/p>\n

We gotta dance extra hard because I lost my heel!\u201d Larsson joked while lifting her foot to disclose the broken stiletto heel, and that she did. Later, when she returned throughout the \u201cthird Hour of Today\u201d to perform her song \u201cBlue Moon,\u201d the damaged shoe had been swapped out for a fresh pair.<\/p>\n

Just weeks before finding herself at the middle of the Chris Brown drama, Larsson opened up in regards to the legendary artists who inspired her own music profession. While attending the Billboard Women in Music event on the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on April 29, the Swedish singer was honored as this 12 months\u2019s Breakthrough Artist.<\/p>\n

In the course of the event, Larsson revealed which 4 artists she believes belong on her personal \u201cMount Rushmore\u201d of pop music. \u201cMy 4 are the those who raised me,\u201d the \u201cMidnight Sun\u201d singer said before naming Christina Aguilera<\/strong>, C\u00e9line Dion<\/strong>, Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong>, and Whitney Houston.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
