Selena Gomez's followers seem upset with Benny Blanco for critiquing cookie-cutter pop stars.

Benny continued saying that for him, Justin was falling into himself as an adult and it was brave of him to put the song out. However, some fans blamed Blanco for misogyny, criticizing that all the men who are always degrading women and their success, always do so to praise other men for the bare minimum.
