Rosalía receives a shower of criticism for "plagiarizing" Natti Natasha in her video clip for 'La Fama' with 'The Weeknd'
Rosalía has placed herself in the eye of the hurricane after her latest video clip ('La Fama') recorded with 'The Weeknd', since there are not a few voices that accuse her of plagiarizing Natti Natasha in 'Coming and going', where she forms pair with C. Tangana. The parallelism on the stage of both works, as well as the way both artists move, has motivated that the incursion of Rauw Alejandro's girlfriend in bachata is not without controversy.
In the scene that has unleashed the rain of criticism of Rosalia, you can see how she dances while she sensually approaches the table from which 'The Weeknd' looks at her with interest. It is not for less, because previously, in 2020, Natti Natasha had already played a femme fatale from a nightclub who struts right under the nose of a boxer played by C. Tangana. For more coincidence, both go down some stairs before reaching their respective objectives.
"Aesthetically, the video clip, well, in the end, sings a little," denounced a Twitter user before attaching the two scenes, evidencing the similarities.
"Identical", clarified another while the networks were filled with images of both video clips.
"Cultural appropriation and literal copying of the video is too much," pointed out another comment that recalled that Natti Natasha had already been using this technique since she published 'Tonta' with 'Rkm & Ken' in 2018.
Of course, the one who does not seem as angry as the users of social networks is the Latin artist herself, who would not hesitate to welcome the Catalan singer to her musical style. "Congratulations, Rosalía, long live bachata", Natti Natasha would write on her Twitter account, just as she would rescue her fan club.
With plagiarism or without it, 'La Fama' already exceeds 14 million views on YouTube, even though the author of it does not stop falling sticks. "The problem is that Rosalía is creatively more lost than an octopus in a garage (...). And now she launches a bachata because the one who sets the trend is another", they would tell her despite pointing out that it was "a good song, at least decent".
