Crazy Horse Paris Draws Criticism For Using BLACKPINK Lisa's 'ROCKSTAR' In Recent Video

Crazy Horse is drawing mixed reactions for using BLACKPINK Lisa’s latest single, “ROCKSTAR,” in a recent promotional video.

Crazy Horse, a well-known upscale nightclub in France stirred controversy by posting a video on its page that introduced its latest talents while using Lisa’s latest solo comeback, “ROCKSTAR,” as the song of choice.

This choice of background music has sparked backlash, especially since Lisa had previously faced intense scrutiny for performing at the venue back in September 2023.

Crazy Horse is known for its adult entertainment, featuring performances by topless dancers. The decision to use “ROCKSTAR” for promoting such content has not sat well with the online community, with many accusing the nightclub of exploiting Lisa’s fame to attract attention to their sensual clip, featuring adult performers wearing outfits inspired by marching band uniforms.

This situation has caused past controversies surrounding Lisa to resurface, including demands for her to leave BLACKPINK and backlash from her performances at the nightclub, which had led to significant criticism from fans in Asia.

The use of her latest single in a promotional video for strippers is seen as immensely insensitive given these past events. This has caused many to remember the unwanted controversies that once overshadowed Lisa’s career.

Additionally, on Lisa’s birthday on March 27, Crazy Horse drew attention for posting an Instagram story post labeling her as their “iconic Crazy guest,” which also rehashed discussions around her controversial performances at the venue.

Lisa typically re-shares birthday greetings and gifts from friends, family, and brands on her Instagram Story, but noticeably did not acknowledge the nightclub’s post. This was likely done to avoid reigniting the past scandal and preventing any backlash from it.
