MODERATORS
Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an "anti-vaxxer" and a "musk fan", as well as "against Israel's genocide":
In the song, May rails against "big pharma," a "man-made virus," "cancel culture," and a war that she brands "genocide."
This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial "man-made virus" line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan's lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.
Nothing there says she's against vaccines. It does say she's against Israel's genocide though, assuming that's the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).
Searching for "vax" or "vaccine" in the entire article yields nothing.
Searching for "musk" yields this verse in the lyrics:
Mr. Musk, he said some s***, the lefts are angry
Which... doesn't seem to imply she's a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can't conclude that from this article).
So, when reading an article, let's not extrapolate beyond what's reasonable.
Is this news or pop culture bullshit?
The latter, but OP appears to be a fan.
Gotta love the irony of a song that condemns having to "pick a tribe and hate the other side" that still can't manage to refrain from doing exactly that.
She might have picked a side, but I can't be 100% sure of which one just from the lyrics. In fact, if anything, it seems she hasn't picked a side: she sides with one on some issues (e.g. Israel) and with the other on other issues (e.g. cancel culture).
As a result, she's probably angering both sides, which maybe was the whole point, who knows.
This doesn't belong in News, so I'm downvoting this post, but if you repost it somewhere more appropriate, I would upvote it.
This isn't news. There's wars going on, corruption in the U.S. government, LA's in a literal firestorm, and... this? By the way, it happened last week, no one cared then, certainly don't give a fuck now.
