\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tMaking headlines for more than just the music. Matty Healy has been raising eyebrows for years as The 1975 continues to find success. Months before Healy was linked to Taylor Swift following her split from Joe Alwyn, the English rocker made waves for kissing fans on stage at various shows. He ditched the tradition during [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve kind of performed exaggerated versions of myself on other stages, be it [in] print or on podcasts and in an often misguided attempt at fulfilling the kind of character role of the 21st century rock star,\u201d he noted. \u201cSo, it\u2019s complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded by poking fun at his questionable behavior<\/a>, adding, \u201cSometimes playing pretend is the only way you can truly find out who you are, and you could probably also say that men would rather do offensive impressions for attention than go to therapy.\u201d<\/p>\nEarlier this year, Healy came under fire when he referred to Ice Spice<\/strong><\/a> as an \u201cInuit Spice Girl\u201d and a \u201cchubby Chinese lady\u201d during a February appearance on \u201cThe Adam Friedland Show\u201d podcast. He issued a public apology later that month.<\/p>\n\u201cI just feel a bit bad, and I\u2019m kind of a bit sorry if I\u2019ve offended you. Ice Spice, I\u2019m sorry. It\u2019s not because I\u2019m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. It\u2019s because I don\u2019t want Ice Spice to think I\u2019m a d\u2013k,\u201d he noted via Instagram. \u201cI love you, Ice Spice. I\u2019m so sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ice Spice, who collaborated with Healy\u2019s ex Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> on a remix of the song \u201cKarma,\u201d asserted last month that she was on good terms<\/a> with Healy despite the drama.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen I had heard that little podcast or whatever, I was so confused. Because I heard \u2018chubby Chinese lady\u2019 or some s\u2013t like that, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Huh? What does that even mean?\u2019\u201d she told Billboard in an interview published on Thursday, September 28. \u201cFirst of all, I\u2019m thick. What do you mean Chinese? What? But then they apologized or whatever. And the whole time, I didn\u2019t really care.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cHe apologized to me a bunch of times. We\u2019re good.\u201d<\/p>\n
