BLACKPINK\u2019s Jennie is all set to drop her new solo single “Mantra” on October 11, but not without some drama!<\/strong> Critics on X (formerly Twitter) are accusing her of cultural appropriation<\/strong> over the song’s title, claiming it disrespects the word\u2019s Sanskrit<\/strong> origins. Here are trolls going at it again!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The controversy gained steam when a user pointed out that “mantra<\/strong>” has deep spiritual roots in Hinduism, arguing Jennie’s use of the term doesn\u2019t align with its original meaning. In addition, other users have used BLACKPINK’s 2020 controversy, where the group faced similar controversy for using a Ganesha statue<\/strong> in their “How You Like That” music video. This led to the prop’s removal after some cultural appropriation claims.<\/p>\n

Despite the noise, BLINKs have rushed to Jennie\u2019s defense, calling the accusations fake<\/strong> or exaggerated. Some have pointed out that other artists have used “mantra” without facing as much criticism as the idol. As Jennie gears up for her comeback, the spotlight is on whether this new controversy will have any actual impact after the track is released. One thing\u2019s for sure, “Mantra” is set to make waves, regardless of the drama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
