Amala Ekpunobi

Now, for those of you who don't understand what's going on, a fan starts cheering for her, doing a traditional Arabic cheer, which is what you'll hear in the video.

Sabrina Carpenter says, I don't like it.

And the fan retorts back that it's her culture.

Now this has started a cultural war online as to whether or not Sabrina Carpenter is an Islamophobe for not liking the fact that this fan was screaming during her set at Coachella.

Let's watch this moment one more time to see it go down.

Is that what you're doing?

You know?

Now, the issue is that she said she does not like it and she called it weird.

And people are calling her disrespectful, saying she's Islamophobic for having made that comment.

Let's get into a few of the responses here.

The video was taken down on this one, but this person writes, Sabrina saying that she doesn't like a cultural Arabic cheer.

This is so insensitive and Islamophobic.

I'm very disappointed in her.

Another one writes,

To anyone who's uncultured, here is how a zagruta, I guess how you pronounce this, sounds, which is clearly not yodeling.

It's a form of celebration performed at weddings and moments of joy all around West Africa and North Africa, learned from many generations.

Calling it weird or brushing it off is disrespectful.

And for a moment before we get into it.

this clip, is it maybe a little disrespectful as an artist is softly playing their piano at Coachella where there's thousands of people trying to listen to her, maybe even hundreds of thousands.

I don't know how many people end up going to Coachella to be screaming at a level that is way above anybody else in the crowd.
