Kehlani’s 3rd album Blue Water Road is out now.

But the album roadshow took a detour when Kehlani stopped by the program The Morning Hustle. Hosted by Headkrack and Lore’l, the show is known for its “take on urban pop culture from the Millennial and Generation Z point of view.” It has featured high profile guests from Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and Nicki Minaj to Vice President Kamala Harris and Anthony Fauci. 

This time around, they had Kehlani on the show and things went south when the hosts introduced the artist with a weird take on pronouns, which for the record are she/they. That was followed by a series of invasive lovelife questions, such as “So no scissoring with SZA?”.

Here’s the full interview below.

 

Needless to say, this is far from good interviewing and the internet had more than a few thoughts on it. 

The artist even took to Instagram to voice their concerns and left no stone unturned.

Instead of apologizing, the hosts doubled down and attempted to justify their actions in a follow up episode of their show and of course there were still more thoughts.

Yea, this is a crash course on what NOT to do during or after an interview.
