Avril Lavigne Responds to Racism Claims Over "Hello Kitty" Video
As Fuse previously confirmed, Avril Lavigne's Japanese-themed "Hello Kitty" music video was not yanked from YouTube. In fact, it was officially uploaded to the signer's Vevo account last night. But the clip is still irking plenty of people, who are calling the kawaii visual, and Avril herself, racist.
But the "Rock N Roll" singer is laughing off claims her video is culturally insensitive, saying, "RACIST??? LOLOLOL!!!" According to Lavigne's Twitter, she loves Japan and its culture.
