Rina Sawayama appeared to call out The 1975’s Matty Healy again during her set at NOS Alive.The singer was mid-way through her performance at the Lisbon-based festival when she addressed the crowd and pushed for an apology from “some people” who get away with making sexist and racist comments.“So I was thinking a lot about apologies,” she began, speaking to the crowd towards the end of her track ‘STFU’. “It’s just funny how some people get away with not apologising ever… For saying some racist shit.
For saying some sexist shit.”“So let’s try this,” she continued, with the intro of Limp Bizkit’s ‘Break Stuff’ playing in the background. “Why don’t you apologise for once in your life without making it about your fucking self?”The comments onstage follow a similar display at Glastonbury last month when Sawayama appeared to dedicate ‘STFU’ to Healy. “Tonight this goes out to a white man that watches ‘Ghetto Gaggers’ [porn] and mocks Asian people on a podcast,” she told the crowd at the Woodsies Stage, adding, “He also owns my masters.
I’ve had enough.”The references to sexism and racism in both her speeches at Glastonbury and NOS Alive appear to be aimed at The 1975 singer, who faced backlash earlier this year after he was a guest on The Adam Friedland podcast.Rina Sawayama calls out Matty Healy for the second time at NOS Alive Lisbon pic.twitter.com/7ObbLaNMTt— lou.
