R&B singer Kehlani isn’t going to be streaming “Girls” anytime soon. The crooner has stepped forward to share her issues with the sensual banger.
Heading into the weekend, Lani went to Twitter and explained why the song does more harm than good to the LGBTQ community.
every artist on the song is fantastic, and very much loved and supported by me… by all of us. but this isn’t about talent. it’s about choice.

hate to be THAT guy but there were many awkward slurs, quotes, and moments that were like “word? word”

I agree, let’s have a calm discussion about lyrics and culture without assuming we want each other to fail.

i think bebe’s tweet sums it up 100%, it is none of our business who they choose to fuck… the lovely part of sexuality is that it is a spectrum (which i know you know) and for us to assume they’re all straight girls kissing girls just to attract men is…. not cool
