Selena Gomez has been a pop sensation ever since she was a teenager. She made her acting debut at the age of 7 and there was no looking back. The singer is currently using the platform to spread positivity. Her company, Rare Beauty, is raising $100 million for mental health services. But do you remember her controversial comment on a social subject? It has to do with the Black Lives Matter movement.

It was back in 2016 when her best friend Taylor Swift was in a feud with Kanye West & Kim Kardashian. The whole soup was regarding the rapper’s song ‘Famous.’ A leaked audio along with several allegations took the Internet by storm. It was then when Selena got into the scene and made a rather controversial statement.

When Kim Kardashian shared Taylor Swift’s audio on Snapchat, Selena Gomez took an indirect dig at the reality star. In a now-deleted tweet, the Rare singer wrote, “There are more important things to talk about… Why can’t people use their voice for something that f**king matters.”
