Both Kehlani and Hayley Kiyoko had claimed that the song features lyrics which are harmful to the LGBTQ+ community, to which Rita claimed she'd always been a contributor to the LGBTQ+ community and made a public apology for any offence caused.
Charli XCX and Bebe Rexha have stayed silent on the criticism that the song's faced so far, but fans have certainly been making their feelings clear as the song's already amassed more than 6 million streams online.
Whilst addressing the critics of 'Girls', Cardi also opened up about her previous use of homophobic language, to which she claimed she used words she didn't know were offensive, learned and then stopped using them...
I know i have use words before that i wasn’t aware that they are offensive to the LGBT community .I apologize for that .Not everybody knows the correct “terms “to use.I learned and i stopped using it.
