Fletcher is encountering criticism from her audience after sharing news of her latest album and releasing a song centered on falling in love with a man, especially since her music typically focuses on her previous queer relationships.
The 31-year-old singer – whose full name is Cari Fletcher – rose to fame for her raw break-up anthems about her relationships with other women.
She recently dropped a single titled “Boy,” which is part of her forthcoming album *Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me?*, set to be released on July 18. This track sheds light on her current romantic involvement.
While Fletcher says the song reflects a moment of unexpected personal growth, many are upset and claiming she changed her entire image.
Fans on social media have labeled the song’s release during Pride Month as inappropriate, suggesting she should have postponed the launch by a month. In the song, she confesses to her fans, “His lips were soft / I had no choice / I kissed a boy.”
One user posted a video showcasing the new song and people in the comments were furious.
Many people compared Fletcher to JoJo Siwa, 22, who recently shocked her fans when she announced her relationship with former Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, after previously exclusively dating women and identifying as a lesbian.
Commenters wrote, ‘It’s giving JoJo Siwa,’ and said she was ‘in her JoJo Siwa era,’ with many members of her largely queer audience saying they’d rather she hadn’t shared this information during Pride Month.
Fletcher is facing backlash from fans after announcing her new album and debuting a song about falling in love with a man at the start of Pride Month. The 31-year-old singer – whose full name is Cari Fletcher – rose to fame for her queer anthems
‘She had any other month to release this but doing it during the first week of Pride Month is a grab and a bad one at that,’ one angry fan griped of Fletcher’s new song.
‘I think the issue is timing and delivery… it feels manipulative,’ a comment read. The original creator responded: ‘I don’t care [about] the fact that she’s dating a man, I’m happy for her, after making your whole career centered around liking women…so being a lesbian was a phase?
In another video, a TikTok content creator discussed the singer’s ‘rebrand’ and how she now signs off as ‘Cari,’ referring to the letter she posted to her Instagram.
Many fans explained they were upset because her discography was based on her past relationships with women. She even went viral for her past relationships, including her song Becky’s So Hot about her previous relationship with content creator Shannon Beveridge.
Frustrated fans didn’t like that her new merch has the word ‘boy’ written all over it to pay homage to her new single.
Despite the pushback, fans on Reddit were quick to jump to her defense, arguing that the singer never said she only dated women.
Internet sleuths believe Fletcher is dating Jagwar Twin, or Brandon Roy Wronski, who is allegedly connected to a wellness group, The Modern Mystery School. Miley Cyrus and Shawn Mendes have been linked to the organization in the past, which has previously been referred to as ‘cult-like’.
Its mission statement reads: ‘The Modern Mystery School is in service to all of humanity to assist in the ascension of the human consciousness on this planet. This is a mission the school and its lineage holders have been working towards for over 3,000 years.
Fletcher recently released the new single Boy, from her upcoming album Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me? out July 18. While Fletcher says the song reflects a moment of unexpected personal growth, many are fuming, claiming she changed her entire image
On social media, listeners have called the timing of the song’s release ‘crazy’ and argued she could have waited for another month to release the song
The statement continues: ‘The purpose of the school is to help people achieve their highest spiritual potential in this physical life, while living a life of joy, fulfillment and love.’
Fans began to speculate Fletcher was also a member after her name appeared on a list of people who have taken courses with MMS, per Pride.
Rumors swirled so heavily that the singer issued a statement in March 2024 denying any involvement.
‘I am no longer involved with MMS. I was listed on the website because I took a few introductory classes followed by a one-week course out of curiosity,’ she wrote on Twitter.
‘Further insight into the organization did not resonate with me in any way.
‘I do not support, subscribe or condone any mission or rhetoric that is anti-LGBTQ+ in any form, spiritually, politically or otherwise.’
DailyMail.com has contacted Fletcher for comment.
