Halsey Hits Back at Anthony Fantano over 'The Great Impersonator' Review in Heated Post
Halsey lashed out after Fantano gave The Great Impersonator a 1 out of 10 and called the album the worst case of "main character syndrome" in 2024.
- On Sunday, Grammy-nominated singer Halsey publicly criticized music critic Anthony Fantano after he posted about ongoing discourse surrounding his 2024 review of her album, The Great Impersonator.
- Fantano previously awarded the 2024 record a "decent 1" out of 10, describing it as having "the worst case of main character syndrome" he had ever heard on a pop album.
- Calling the critic a "raised-by-4chan edgelord bully," Halsey defended the album, noting she had the "excuse of going through chemo" for blood cancer diagnosed in 2022 while creating the music.
- Responding to the criticism, Fantano stated he was "flattered to be on your radar, queen," though Halsey continued challenging what she perceived as his bias against women writing confessional pop tracks.
- This incident follows a pattern of public feuds for the YouTube personality, who frequently faces accusations regarding an alleged bias against female pop artists, including recent conflicts with Grimes and Olivia Rodrigo.
