"Stop this madness": James Charles reportedly set to release a song, and the internet is not happy

According to online sources, James Charles, a YouTuber best known for his makeup tutorials, is rumored to be releasing music soon. This comes after he returned to YouTube following grooming allegations.

For context, in April 2021, James Charles posted a now-deleted video titled "Holding myself accountable," where he admitted to sending "flirty" texts to minors. He then took a three-month break before returning with another video titled "An Open Conversation," where he reverted his previous statements taking accountability.

Soon after his return, James Charles was accused again of allegedly following a minor for months after the minor unfollowed him.

Most recently, James Charles came under fire following a now-deleted Instagram story post where he tagged an underage streamer while wearing a robe. Ethan Klein commented on the situation, stating: "You can't excuse predatory acts." Klein also brought up Charles' recent photoshoot in an arcade where his zipper was undone.

The alleged announcement of Charles creating music was shared on Twitter by user DiorIndustry and was not met with positivity. The post received over 150 replies and 141 retweets at the time of the article.
