Aubrey O’Dayhas clapped back at critics after she was called out online for attending twoKanye Westconcerts last week.
Due to a series of scandalous actions and public statements, Kanye has been at thecenter of controversyfor some time. As a result,several brandsand former celebrity friends distanced themselves from the rapper … but, clearly, Aubrey wasn’t one of them. Here’s what she had to say about it.
Aubrey said she “can hold two truths at once”
To recap, Kanye performed astring of concertsin California last week, and it later came to light that Aubrey had attended two ofthese shows. Aubrey’s decision to support Kanyeprompted backlashfrom some people online, with one person calling the former Danity Kane member – who alsorecently appeared onthe Netflix documentary about the downfall ofSean “Diddy” Combs– a “f*cking hypocrite.”
To that, Aubrey had a strong response. Taking to X herself, she drew a line between “engaging” in art and agreeing with an artist’s opinions.
“I can hold two truths at once,” the musician told her 450k followers. “I’ve been vocal about abuse because I’ve lived it, and I don’t excuse it, ever. That hasn’t changed. But I also don’t believe engaging with someone’s art means I co-sign every opinion or action they’ve ever had.”

“If that were the rule, most of this industry, and honestly most of the world, would be off limits,” she continued.
“What I don’t support is harm, exploitation, or violence,” Aubrey went on. “And I’ve been consistent about that. You can disagree with where I draw my line, but calling it hypocrisy ignores the nuance.”
Aubrey ended her post by reminding her fans (and critics) that “it’s not black and white.”
“I’ve been clear about where I stand on abuse,” she added. “That doesn’t change because I attended a show. Nuance isn’t hypocrisy, it’s reality.”
