Jesy Nelson loses 51,000 followers
JESY Nelson has lost over 51,000 followers on Instagram as her blackfishing row with former Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock rages on, The Sun can reveal.
The fallout first unfolded when an influencer leaked messages allegedly sent by Leigh-Anne that asked him to do a video exposing Jesy for being a “blackfish” on Sunday following the release of her debut single Boyz.
Jesy’s look in the music video sparked claims she was blackfishing – a term used when a white person uses black culture and aesthetics for their own gain – when it was released last week.
And as the furore rages on, The Sun can reveal that Jesy has lost over 51,000 followers so far on her Instagram.
According to SocialBlade, a website that tracks social media statistics and analytics, the star has seen a steep decline in her following since Sunday.
After five days, Jesy now stands at 8,433,812, having previously had a total of 8,485,192 followers.
Meanwhile, Leigh-Anne’s social media following has increased by over 74,000.
