Rina Sawayama takes a dig at Matty Healy for THIS reason 

On June 25, Rina Sawayama seemingly called out her Dirty Hit labelmate Matty Healy in the middle of her set at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival in England. Before beginning her song ‘STFU,’ lookslike the singer hinted that the song is written for his labelmate Healy. She did not reveal his name. Rina said, “I wrote this next song because I was sick and tired of these microaggressions. So tonight, this goes out to a white man that watches ‘Ghetto Gaggers’ and mocks Asian people on a podcast.” Expressing her anger, Rina said, “He also owns my masters. I’ve had enough!” 

Even though she did not name Healy, fans were quick enough to realize that Rina was referring to the 1975 frontman’s controversial appearance on The Adam Friedland Show in February.

For the unversed, Matty Healy was seen laughing and making no comments at the conversation between the podcast co-hosts Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen, who called Ice Spice an “Inuit Spice Girl” and a “chubby Chinese lady. They mocked Healy for watching Ghetto Gaggers, which is a pornography show where white men dominate black women. Social media slammed the singer for his unusual behavior. 

However, Healy later apologized to Ice Spice, who recently collaborated with his now-ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift on a remix of Karma.
