India.Arie doesn’t liked to be “aggressively” touched. Nor does she like to be disrespected by opinionated Twitter followers.
She said all of this after having her hand slapped away by security guards, when she tried to say hello to Lady Gaga on the Grammy red carpet.
According to SingersRoom, when Arie tapped the pop star on her shoulder to great her, one of Gaga’s security people forcefully slapped her hand away, striking a bracelet she was wearing and causing her pain.
Afterwards, the ‘Chocolate High’ singer and Gaga’s followers took to Twitter where some back-and-forth occurred, but the soul singer was quick to say she doesn’t have a problem with her.
“Lets squash this now,” she wrote. “Everyone responding to my @ladygaga tweet. I know her and I wanted to speak like did everyone else I saw I know.”
Arie also said she doesn’t blame the ‘Artpop’ creator for what happened, she blames her security team. She also said the eccentric singer never saw her, so it’s not her fault.
“Her security swatted my hand,” explained the ‘Acoustic Soul’ creator. “She didn’t see me. And my point is not @ladygaga my point is — this is the energy of the Hollywood bubble.”
Clearly, the Denver, Colo. native has no problem with Ms. Gaga, it just seems like she has a problem with some of her fans, since they lashed out at her without knowing the full story.
