Ella Mai Criticism Sparks Conversation On Twitter
Ella Mai‘s talent is being defended by fans after a viral tweeter questioned her validity.
The Grammy winner tweeted her elation for the state of R&B and it left some rhythm and blues purists confused. Replies to the tweet gather a handful of “confused” memes. One tweeter, @raerenyse when IN on Ella, calling her vocals “poor” and insinuating her looks got her career moving. She wrote:
nah it sucks and it’s in large part due to artists like yourself. no real musical acumen, no understanding of the history of the genre you’re a part of, just a racially ambiguous pretty face with poor vocal technique and a machine behind you.

Yikes! Do YOU think Ella Mai’s light skin and curly hair have a lot to do with her success? Fans are arguing about it now, hit the flip to read what they’re saying.
I thought racially ambiguous meant we couldn’t tell their race by just looking at them. I can look at Ella Mai and tell she’s black. Wtf.

I love the rnb songs rn, however comma. When I turn on the radio I can’t tell what artist I’m listening to whether it’s Ella mai, HER Summerwalker Kehlani or SZA or Jorja Smith. They all sound exactly the same but make great music

Also not every light skinned bitch is "racially ambiguous". You ashy elbowed kneegrows learned that term and havent shut up since. Ella Mai is unmistakably black.

Ella Mai is racially ambiguous? So we’re unaware that she’s Black? 🤔
Can’t sing? But got signed from simply doing covers on IG?
No musical acumen? But attended a music school which helped her land a spot on the X Factor?
Y’all really say anything on this app lol

Y’all know light skinned isn’t racially ambiguous right? Ella Mai looks black. I save that title for like Rashida Jones

I know you lying because you don’t even know three Aretha Franklin songs “R&B is in a Great Place”. Well how come it’s so many white people flourishing and not black people? pic.twitter.com/vpzf3F6dZ3
