Halsey is not here for fake buzz! The singer took to TikTok on Sunday to complain about the way their record label, Astralwerks/Capitol Records, is supposedly restricting them from releasing new music until they create a “fake” viral moment!

In a candid video, the musician, who uses she/they pronouns, stared into the camera while a caption explained: Ugh. We can see how that would be frustrating for them, especially after all their success!

Ironically, though, won’t this become the viral moment she needs to release the song?! The video already has nearly 8 million views!

Killing two birds with one stone! Well, it turns out we weren’t the only ones thinking that. Fans actually slammed the musician for possibly creating this narrative as a fake viral moment in and of itself — and they hit back HARD in the comments, arguing: Yeesh!!
