In February 2009, Chris Brown Physically abused Rihanna in his car before the Grammys. The duo then split up. 3 years later, the couple reunited on both "birthday cake" & "Turn Up the Music" remixes. Rihanna received heavy backlash from fans and the media for taking Chris Back.
#GENETIQUE: 10 - I love Birthday Cake remix and I stan for Chrianna But this really made a lot of people lose respect Rih and Chris
Zune: 10 - I don't want to seem like a bimbo, but really this was bad on Chris' part entirely, not Rihanna (as Rihanna did nothing wrong), but i will give you full credit since this is a controversy around Rihanna but realize it didn't happen because of her, it was because of Chris (we both know this).
Matty: 10
Nait Phoenix: 10 - Still one of the biggest controversies in pop music.

2. igor - Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez sparks controversy with show for Turkmenistan dictator
Last year, JLo caused controversy for doing a concert and singing a birthday song for the Turkmenistan president, a dictator of a repressive country known for its human rights abuses. Her publicist said she wouldn't have performed if she was aware of the country issues. Apparently, they forgot google exists.
#GENETIQUE: 9 - JLo should have known better
Zune: 8.5 - That whole thing was semi controversial. Now the money she got from that performance would have been something to note.
Matty: 7
Nait Phoenix: 9 - Wow, that's legit bad.
TOTAL: 33.5
In Katy's video "Dark Horse," a man wearing a pendant with the word "Allah" is burned. This caused controversy, as many Muslims accused her of blasphemy. A few months before, Katy's geisha-inspired performance of "Unconditionally" saw her accused of cultural appropriation and disrespect, so the DH controversy made things worse!
#GENETIQUE: 7 - Pretty embarrassing for Katy plus points for flawless bopping gif!
Zune: 8.5 - For what you had to work with, this was the best I think you could have chosen for your artist. At the end of the day this scandal was minorly controversial
Matty: 6
Nait Phoenix: 9 - Way to go on offending a whole culture, Katy...
TOTAL: 30.5
4. ReachOut - Hilary Duff
Hilary was schedule to take place into Bonnie & Clyde remake but Faye seemed pressed and in an interview dissed Hilary's acting. Then Hilary attacked Faye in an interview saying that her fans didn't even know who Faye was and shaded Faye physical aspect.
#GENETIQUE: 7 - Pretty gutsy for a Disney star
Zune: 8.5 - What are these comment Hilary. Your not even shady, you just tell it like it is
Matty: 6
Nait Phoenix: 8 - This is legit the first time baddest applies to your superstar
TOTAL: 29.5
5. Jax - Azealia Banks
Azealia Banks covered Dazed & Confused Magazine back in 2012 and caused great controversy and ended up getting the magazine cover banned in 7 countries. Unlike Azealia's Twitter antics, this magazine cover caused actual controversy outside the internet and got covered worldwide on multiple news stations.
#GENETIQUE: 7 - Pretty tasteless and wTF at Tupac in the background. Plus points for graphics!
Zune: 9.5 - You know i think a twitter war beef would have been a better selection for this round since that is a controversy, but wow at your thing you picked. Good highlighting the fact it got banned in 7 countries.
Matty: 5
Nait Phoenix: 7 - It's more their fault for agreeing to use the picture.
TOTAL: 28.5
So this article kind of already explains what happened, but Avril released this already goddawful song as a single with an even worse video that got people all up in arms about its supposed racism toward Asian people and culture. Everything in it seems to reinforce Asian stereotypes and had multiple news outlets reporting the viral video.
#GENETIQUE: 6 - The bad thing is that it flopped even with all that controversy
Zune: 9.25 - Your darn lucky this video happened recently. Yeas!
Matty: 6
Nait Phoenix: 6 - Another day, another white girl being obligatorily racist...
TOTAL: 27.25
#GENETIQUE: 3 - This bitch! It's not really bad lol since people didn't have much of a positive impression of her when that happened. She has had worse controversies.
Zune: 8.5 - I guess this is pretty badness and funny. She had more scandals like stealing things, but this is pretty good.
Matty: 6
Nait Phoenix: 5 - I don't really appreciate just throwing these links out with no indication why it was scandalous.
TOTAL: 22.5
8. Robbyyy - Nicki Minaj
The Exorcism of Roman
Nicki Minaj brought exorcism to life, became Illuminati's poster child & the Anti-Christ all in one with this performance. What's a little controversy if it doesn't upset the Catholic Church?
#GENETIQUE: 1 - The performance slayed sorry. Bonus point for pictures
Zune: 9.5 - It was funny to watch too
Matty: 7.5
Nait Phoenix: 4 - Most of the meaning was speculation
TOTAL: 22
#GENETIQUE: 0 - I know you had very little to work with but...
Zune: 7 - For living through the times when this was "controversial" it was hardly...
Matty: 5 - What do you expect with a song called ‘Sexercise’ people? (#CommentOfTheYear - #GENETIQUE)
Nait Phoenix: 4 - If this were Madonna, it would've been praised for being avant-garde or some ****.

From now on, the elimination process will be different. EVERYONE will have the power to save one player from the bottom two. You will have one day to vote who you think should stay in the competition. I don't care if you campaign for yourselves. You can only vote once and you can only vote on the thread. Yall have until 2:20PM tomorrow to vote.
So... yeah... voting's over. A tad disappointed we only got very few votes and just one from the public (I love you, Kavish! ) but whatevs. Update when I wake up. I just got home from a trip and I'm really tired and sleepy
But this really made a lot of people lose respect Rih and Chris 
It's not really bad lol since people didn't have much of a positive impression of her when that happened. She has had worse controversies.
Kinda seems like overkill...
