James Charles gets backlash for shading Alicia Keys

[Jordan Miller]

2020 is wild. Not because of the pandemic, but because I know so much about James Charles now. I-

The makeup guru is in hot water yet again because of a shady Tweet he blasted at Alicia Keys. He was under the impression Keys was coming out with a makeup line, so he said the following: 

Quote

“People who do not wear makeup should not be coming out with makeup brands but that’s just my opinion.”

Yikes... interestingly, Keys is coming out with a skin care line... not makeup. 

James deleted his Tweet and issued an apology:

“Yesterday I posted a subtweet about how I thought some celebrities shouldn’t launch makeup lines,” he wrote. “It was about @aliciakeys.”

He added: “A few years ago, she announced that she no longer would wear makeup, so I was bothered because many celebrities come into the beauty space as a cash grab without any actual passion and then leave.”

“I deleted the tweet after a few minutes because it’s childish to indirect tweet someone & I am not the gatekeeper of makeup. Anyone should be able to secure their bag and its not up to me which brands people should or shouldn’t support."

“I’m now glad that I did delete it because after reading further, I learned that the beauty line is SKINCARE,” Charles wrote. “This was my mistake and I should’ve read more before tweeting, because literally who better to talk about keeping your skin clear without makeup?”

“Regardless of my intention with my tweet, it ended up being a microaggression against someone I respect, so to @aliciakeys I owe a direct apology — I’m sorry.”

Imagine if Alicia put Charles on blast for his singing career.  

Thoughts???

I think the pandemic has made all of us gone crazy... All of a sudden, I know who these people are... Like, why do I all of a sudden care for these social media influencers?

But that was rather quick of Charles to tweet such a statement. Then again, Charles is still young, and figuring out what's right or wrong. I just hope these influencers learn to do better

A thirsty legend

His initial statement about people making makeup as a cash grab is so true tbh

I think it's mature that he admitted right away who he was talking about and acknowledged that he was actually wrong about her even releasing makeup lol

Says the guy who became famous based on lies and flase allegations  , yikes , but I do believe in Karma and it's not looking good for him
