BLACKPINK’s Rosé recently released the music video for her track “Messy,” a song featured in the soundtrack for the movie F1.
While the video was praised for showcasing Rosé’s talent and visuals, it quickly sparked controversy due to the appearance of Hollywood star Brad Pitt, who plays a significant role in the film.
The music video features a magical and dramatic visual aesthetic, but it was the cameo of Brad Pitt that caught many by surprise.
A Twitter user expressed their disbelief, stating,
“Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined Brad Pitt making out in Rosé’s MV.”
This reaction was widespread, with fans initially feeling awkward about his inclusion.
However, the controversy intensified when some netizens criticized Rosé for the involvement of Brad Pitt, particularly due to recent abuse allegations against the actor.
Comments emerged such as,
“Rosé singing a song titled ‘Messy’ about messy relationships for a movie that’s trying to rehab the image of a known abuser… Yikes.”
Many expressed their displeasure with Brad Pitt’s involvement, saying they would avoid watching the movie or supporting it because of him.
Despite the backlash, Rosé quickly received support from her fans, who pointed out that Brad Pitt’s appearance was a necessary part of the movie’s storyline.
As the film’s star, Brad Pitt’s cameo in the music video made sense given that the song is part of the official movie soundtrack.
Fans also pointed out that Rosé had no control over the film’s content, with one fan humorously saying,
“Oh, didn’t you know that she produced the movie, directed the auditions, hired him, wrote the script, did his makeup, filmed the video, edited it, etc?”
The criticism appears to be more about the actor’s involvement than about Rosé herself, as many pointed out that it wasn’t her decision to cast Brad Pitt.
Still, some fans are concerned that the controversy might overshadow Rosé’s achievement in having her track featured in such a high-profile movie soundtrack.
Despite the debate, it is undeniable that Rosé’s inclusion in the F1 soundtrack and the release of her track “Messy” are significant milestones in her career, and many hope that these achievements won’t be clouded by issues beyond her control.
