A video of pop star Crush extending his hand towards fans and then withdrawing it went viral, and the user who shared the clip alleged that he had pulled away because of their skin colour.

Crush later put out an apology, “Hi everyone, I just wanted to address the issue revolving around the audience interaction from my performance last night at the 2022 Someday Pleroma Festival. I’ve been away for roughly two years and being able to perform on stage with my dearest fans in the audience was such an unforgettable and long-awaited experience, so I naturally and instinctively walked towards and reached down to the crowd.”
