Instagram user @authroess_stormy wrote, “Not surprised by the link up, Queen has never been one of us.”
Another Instagram user @el_hierro77 wrote, “Y’all in the comments acting like y’all don’t support other black women just because they’re black. They have the right to support each other #arabqueens”
Instagram user @itssdiamondbtw wrote, “Ppl can like huda tf. Ppl can like Ola and Chelly too. I like all of them we don’t know them personally y’all act like huda came out and bluntly said sum racise or sum sh** 😐”
