Social Media Reacts
Social media users entered The Shade Room’s comment section to share their reactions to Stunna Girl’s viral sentiments about Ciara. Many appeared to disagree with the rapper’s stance.
Music producer Rico Love wrote.
“It’s the label that contacts you for using the sample without clearance! Stop putting this on the artist. I’m sure Ciara has no clue this woman or this song exist. She just had a beautiful baby and is enjoying her own success. The label is doing their job to protect the song that they own the masters to. Respectfully”
While Instagram user @chris.period added.
“Ciara owns the masters to that song and cowrote it. How you mad at her because YOU did business wrong. Ciaras been in the game for 20 years. We won’t remember you in 20 business days…ARE YOU INSANE?!”
Instagram user @beeloki wrote.
“That’s what wrong with this generation. How you gone disrespect the artist! Talking bout ‘moonwalk’ she moonwalked and snatched that s**t back”
While Instagram user @k.rharris added.
