Rapper CupcakKe severs ties with Shane Dawson over ‘sick’ Willow Smith video: ‘You have some growing to do’
Rapper CupcakKe has announced she will no longer work with disgraced YouTube star Shane Dawson, after a video emerged of him making crude gestures in front of a Willow Smith poster.
Dawson, a YouTuber, actor and comedian, was called out this weekend by Jaden Smith and his mother, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
In the video, he appears to masturbate in front of the Disney poster of a then 11-year-old Willow, as he references her hit song “Whip My Hair”.
Jaden branded the video “disgusting” and accused Dawson of sexualising his sister when she was a child.
Pinkett-Smith tweeted that she was “done with the excuses”.
In two separate tweets, CupcakKe wrote: “So when I was 16 I was ‘liking’ and sneaking out the house to have sexual encounters with a 34-year-old man & as I told myself all my life (well liz you liked him so it’s ur fault too) at 23 I finally came to a realisation that he was WRONG there’s no way a Grown man should be.”
She then posted: “Shouldn’t be lusting over no child at all. It’s sick. It’s sick & its f***ing sick. You grown ass men are ridiculous. So I’m gone say this. Shane Dawson it was fun making videos with you but I choose to unfollow you & go my separate way.You have some growing to do like FR [for real].”

Dawson recently apologised for a number of past videos in which he used blackface to impersonate various black celebrities.
In 2018, he issued an apology for making numerous jokes about paedophilia in a podcast episode released in 2012.
He has yet to respond to the criticism from Jaden and Jada Pinkett-Smith over the Willow video.
