New Music Video Sparks Controversy

Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande dropped a new song Stuck with U on Friday and it was instantly a huge hit. Because of the quarantine, they weren’t able to film the music video as they usually would. Instead, they had celebrities and fans send in videos of them dancing to the song. However, there was controversy because Carole Baskin her and husband, from the hit documentary series Tiger King, were featured dancing in the video. Ariana Grande had not approved Baskin to be in the video, but Justin Bieber must have been unaware of her request. He tweeted a promotional clip leading up to the video’s release which included Baskin. A lot of fans were disappointed because many were not pleased with Baskin after watching the documentary. Ariana publicly responded saying that she was completely unaware of Baskin’s appearance and told producers that she did not want Baskin in the video when the idea was suggested. Whether or not Grande supports Baskin, she knows that she is a controversial person. I agree that putting Baskin in the video was not a wise decision. Who knows…this could have all been a trial balloon-type publicity stunt to get people talking about the video!
