In case you haven’t been keeping up with
what’s going on in the world of beauty YouTubers,
don’t worry, we’ve got all the tea.
James Charles and Bretman Rock just collaborated
on a series of videos and for them, this collab
has been a long time coming, but of course,
some fans had some good, bad and UGLY things
to say about it!
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News
and if you’ve been a fan of both James Charles
and Bretman Rock for a while you’ve probably
been wondering if they were ever going to
collab.
They have lots of mutual friends and they
have both been staples in the YouTubebeauty
community for years now…
But they’ve never really worked together
so fans wondered if there was beef between
them.
Well, the two beauty gurus put any beef to
rest, literally with a Korean BBQ mukbang
video on James’s channel and a song association
video on Bretman’s channel.
Both of their videos have raked in millions
and millions of views over the past few days.
And right off the bat they discuss their friendship
and why they haven’t collaborated together
in the past.
The videos are actually hilarious and they
got candid about how they met, boys, drama,
and more.
In Bretman’s video, the two of them showed
off their singing skills and sang songs by
everyone from Rihanna to Taylor Swift.
Overall it was hilarious and competitive and
it’s honestly worth watching the whole thing.
They are seriously fun together.
Have you had a chance to watch their song
association video yet?
If so let me know what your favorite part
was down in the comments below, feel free
to get that convo started!
But in James’s video Bretman spends a lot
of time talking about his love for James and
gets really heartfelt.
And it didn’t end just with this video.
Bretman has continued to have James’s back
even after the videos have gone up and the
feedback has started to come in.
While most comments about their collab were
positive, some fans had not-so-nice things
to say about Bretman’s decision to team
up with James, and Bretman was NOT happy about
it.
After reading the negative comments, Bretman
took to Twitter to address the haters once
and for all.
He called out the trolls and told them that
if they were upset by the videos, they could
just not watch them.
Bretman shared a series of screenshots of
comments and wrote quote, “First screen
shot is from my post and second is from James
post..
Look at the difference in the energy... there’s
so much hate comming from people who support
me and I’m so disappointed, I understand
and respect you guys opinions but just don’t
watch it simple.”
Here’s a closer look at some of the negative
comments Bretman was talking about.
They showed his fans writing negative things
about James, like “please don’t” and
“h*ll nah,” while James’ fan comments
were super positive.
And these fans were upset with Bretman’s
collab because of James’s past scandals,
which Bretman acknowledged in a separate Twitter
post.
He said quote, “I’ve expressed my opinions
about his past in the video if you had bothered
to watch it.
I don’t agree with everything he’s done..
I’m not here to defend any of that but what
I don’t agree with is the internet pushing
him in the verge of suicide.
I can only imagine what thats like”
And all the negativity aside, many appreciated
Bretman’s ability to stand up for both himself
and James while shutting down the haters.
One fan wrote quote, “i’m really glad
u pointed this out to make people think twice
about their words.
it’s really disappointing :(. i just watched
the mukbang and now i’m starting on the
video on your channel and they’re honestly
my favorite thing.
only positivity for BOTH of u, from me”
Another said quote, “idk if it’s just
me but i genuinely love that bretman can get
along with everyone and completely remove
himself from all negativity in the beauty
community.”
And another wrote quote, “So sorry bret
it's truly sad that people rather be mean
and rude then to give something a chance.
I love you both and thanks for doing these
amazing video for the ones who are enjoying
them”
And other fans showed their love for Bretman
while also stating specific reasons why they
don’t support James.
One person wrote quote, “Love you but some
of us just don’t like James bc of serious
reasons in regards to racism.
Our loyalty lies with you and we respect you
but we also as your supporters should be able
to tell you when something bothers us same
as you can with us.
It’s a mutual relationship we have.”
While another fan made a good point and wrote
quote, “You don’t know any of them in
real life so stop judging them based on what
other people think they are!”
And that’s true, none of the haters really
know these people personally, so Bretman is
just asking that they chose not to watch if
these collabs bothered them.
Should be easy enough right?
