Halsey had a personal message for her fans, after seeing the chatter surrounding her latest single.
Halsey is tired of the mean fans.
On Tuesday, the "Lucky" singer took to her Tired and Lonely Muse Tumblr account to write a message to the fans who have been flooding her timelines and comments with hate -- instead of support.
"My own fans are hands down meaner to me than any other people on the planet. Not speaking for all of you, of course. But it used to be just a minority that were awful to me and now it seems like a majority have only stuck around to chime in occasionally with their opinion of how much they hate me or how awful I am," the 29-year-old wrote. "It’s hard to want to engage in a space that is completely devoid of any kindness, sympathy, patience; or to be honest human decency. Especially after years of hiding from the interactions for fear that this EXACT thing would happen. I don't know man. I almost lost my life. I am not gonna do anything that doesn’t make me happy anymore. I can't spiritually afford it."
Halsey continued, "When I got sick all I could think about was getting better so I could come back and be a part of THIS again, but I don’t even know what *this* is anymore and I want to crawl in a hole and I regret coming back."
The "Without You" singer didn't further comment. Halsey's latest post comes after her latest song "Lucky" sparked conversation and controversy -- and even a response from Britney Spears.
The single from her upcoming album -- which samples Spears' 2000 hit of the same name -- documents her struggles with fame, being a mom and her battle with her recent illness. In the video, Halsey sports bright pink hair and channels Spears in her early '00s era.
Following the release of the single, a now-deleted message appeared on Spears' X (formally known as Twitter) account condemning the single's release. However, Spears took to the account and clarified that Halsey had her full support, and that she didn't post that message.
"Fake news !!! That was not me on my phone !!! I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it 🌹 !!!," Spears wrote on July 26.
Halsey felt the love from the GRAMMY-winning pop star and sent it right back in her own tweet.
"And I love Britney!!!! I always have and always will," the "Bad At Love" singer tweeted. "You were the first person who ever made me realize what it means to feel inspired. And you continue to inspire me everyday."
Following the song's release, Halsey took to Instagram to share its importance and the impact making the video had on her.
"The lucky music video is out, and it's a lot of feelings happening over here. it was really challenging to incorporate so many conflicting emotions in just a few minutes. this campaign has been fun because I WANT to have fun, but I made lot of this art when I was suffering. I have so many people to thank for being a part of this monumental moment in my life," she wrote. "From the bottom of my heart thank you @giancarla.coppola , pascale , and @simonrex415 and my entire team for making it happen. ⭐️"
In June, Halsey emotionally announced her return to music. The singer released her single, "The End," in which she sings about finding love amid a health battle. While the "Eastside" singer didn't share her exact diagnosis, she tagged the Lupus Research Alliance and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in her post.
Halsey also got support from the man she sings about, her boyfriend, Avan Jogia, who celebrated her in the comments, writing, "I love you and I'm so proud of you."
