Camila 5H on IKWYDLS: "It wasn't a career move..."
Quote:
Interviewer: "After you released 'IKWYDLS' with Shawn Mendes, there was some online backlash. How have you dealt with it?"
Camila: "It's very frustrating. It's been very difficult to watch people criticize me & my intentions. It's been s****y. They turned me(doing the song) into a conspiracy theory. We literally just wrote a song backstage & it ended up becoming something awesome. It wasn't a career move that I carefully planned out."
I think she's honest with the fact that she didn't think it was a career move at first, but it turned into one with Republic whispering into her ears. That's the music industry for you. Plus LA Reid and Sylvia Rhone were probably just as involved and they do have a history of splitting up groups
She doesn't need to apologize or feel guilty about doing this song. She has every right to express herself artistically and she should enjoy the success.
Do I think Fifth Harmony should be her biggest priority when it comes to her career? Yes. But these opportunities don't always come and I'm glad she took a chance.
