Some non black fans don’t know when to read the room.
As a black woman who finds it hard to find love I relate to Olivia dean. Her songs about her immigrant mum / grandpa and grandma is extremely relatable to those who are come from ethnic / immigrant backgrounds. Alongside her songs about being half black / biracial trying to navigate the romantic world.
I went to her concert in Manchester (N1) and I had a lot of white fans give me rude looks and even QUESTION why I was even there. I have been listening to Olivia dean since 2022 as loyle carner put her on the map with their song together.
People were making jokes when she was explaining the context to carmen - a song about how immigrant background.
I honestly think it’s disrespectful and rude to question why people of colour are at a concert where a half BLACK (who is deep into her culture) is performing.
And SOME of you fans need to honestly do better when it comes to artists who are black / black representing.
