She may love it when you call her senorita but now social media is deeming Camila Cabello a racist.

In her apology post, Cabello said she was “deeply ashamed” of her past behaviour.
“When I was younger, I used language that I’m deeply ashamed of and will regret forever,” she wrote in the pictured post.
“I was uneducated and ignorant and once I became aware of the history and the weight and the true meaning behind this horrible and hurtful language, I was deeply embarrassed I ever used it.”
Back in 2016, fellow ex-Fifth Harmony bandmate Normani Kordei quit Twitter due to racist remarks about her on the platform after fans of Cabello said it took Kordei “too long” to come up with a positive description for her group member during a Facebook live.
Cabello’s response to Kordei’s August 2016 declaration was very supportive writing “I stand by the words ‘love only,’ meaning I won’t tolerate on my timeline any kind of hate, racism, or discrimination towards ANYONE.”
However, not all took to Cabello’s apology. Rapper CupcakKe, known for her explicit lyrics and videos in songs like “Deepthroat” tweeted her own mock version of the lyrics to Billboard hit “Havana.”
CupcaKke and Kordei supporters laughed along feeling as though Cabello’s response to racism years ago and Wednesday were not sincere.
Cabello has not yet responded to the rapper’s tweet as of Wednesday night.
