Last week, designer Miguel Adrover posted<\/a> a screenshot seemingly between himself and a member of Rosal\u00eda’s team, who was asking for a “custom look” for the artist. In the caption, he wrote, “Doing ‘The Right Thing’\u2026.Silence is complicity, and even more so when you have a big loudspeaker where millions of people listen to you when you sing. That’s why you have the responsibility to use this power to denounce this genocide. Rosalia, this is nothing personal. I admire you for all your talent and for everything you’ve achieved. And I think you are much more than those artists who only dedicate themselves to show business and entertainment. Now we have to do ‘The Right Thing.'”<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Rosal\u00eda herself responded via a series of Instagram stories, which can be translated to, “In today\u2019s world, we all live in constant contradiction \u2014 myself included. And although I personally always try to do ‘the right thing,’ I probably don\u2019t always succeed, but in the process I try to learn and improve.”<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, this text is not and will not be enough in a context of extreme violence like the one currently happening. That\u2019s why I want to end with deep respect and gratitude for the people who truly take action, like NGOs, activists, volunteers, healthcare workers, laborers, cooperatives, associations, and journalists who are dedicating their lives to helping with this cause and many others,” she continued.<\/p>\n

Emphasizing her “sadness” over what had been said, she continued, “The fact that I haven\u2019t used my platform in a way that aligns with others\u2019 styles or expectations absolutely does not mean that I don\u2019t condemn what is happening in Palestine. It\u2019s terrible to see, day after day, how innocent people are being murdered and how those who should be stopping it are not doing so.”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t see how shaming one another is the best way to move forward in the fight for Palestinian freedom. I believe the blame should be directed upwards (toward those who make decisions and have the power to act), not horizontally (among ourselves),” she concluded.<\/p>\n

The designer isn’t the only one to have drawn a line regarding professional collaborations and comments on Palestine. Children’s YouTuber Ms. Rachel recently wrote on Instagram<\/a>, “To anyone asking to with work with me who hasn’t spoken out about Gaza: Thank you for the request. I’m not comfortable working with anyone who hasn’t spoken out about Gaza. Much love and God bless, Rachel.”<\/p>\n
