During a show at Glastonbury Festival 2023, Rina Sawayama dedicated ‘STFU!’ for ‘a white man’ who ‘mocks asian people on a podcast’
During presentation at Glastonbury Festival 2023 last Saturday night, the 24th, the singer Rina Sawayama shaded Matty Healycontroversial vocalist and frontman of The 1975. The singer received some complaints of racism and even made a Nazi gesture during the show.
Moments before singing the song “STFU!,” released in 2020, sawayama took the opportunity to pin a certain someone. “I wrote this one because I was tired of these microaggressions. This one goes out to a white man who watches Ghetto Gaggers [categoria de filme pornô] and makes fun of asian people on a podcast. He also owns my masters. I’m fed up,” said the artist.
After all, what did she mean by “owner of my masters”? Then, Rina Sawayama has a record deal Dirty Hitwhich has two co-owners: Jamie Oborne It is Matty Healy. The podcast that the singer referred to in the show is an excluded episode of The Adam Friedlandaccording to information from the The Forty-Five.
In the podcast in question, it was possible to hear laughter from healy after bigoted comments about Asians and the rapper ice spice. The host, Adam Friedlandreferred to spice like “this chubby Chinese lady. ‘Yes, I do rap and music.’ Do they talk like that? Inuits [membro de um povo indígena do norte do Canadá e partes da Groenlândia e do Alasca] talk like that?” Then Friedland started making fun of Chinese and Hawaiian accents as the singer laughed.

During an interview with The New Yorker, healy commented on the controversy of the podcast and was quite indifferent. “But it doesn’t really matter. Nobody sits at the computer at night, and the boyfriend comes up and says, ‘What’s wrong, honey?’ and they say, ‘It’s just a thing with Matty Healy.’ It doesn’t happen,” she stated.
If that happens, you are either deluded or, sorry, a liar. Either you’re lying that you’re hurt, or you’re just a little crazy about being hurt. It’s just people saying, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing there, let me get as close as possible so you can see how good I am.’ And I kind of want them to do that, because they’re demonstrating something entry-level.
