A massive “accidental” upload by YG Entertainment has sparked a global firestorm over BLACKPINK’s upcoming album, Deadline. Fans captured screenshots of deleted YouTube credits listing the controversial Dr. Luke as a primary producer for new tracks “Me & My” and “Champion.”
This revelation has left the Blinks, BLACKPINK’S fanbase in shock. Many feel the “Queens of Empowerment” have betrayed their message of female independence by aligning with a producer tied to a decade-long legal battle with singer Kesha. While Dr. Luke has maintained his innocence, his presence in the credits feels like a pivot away from the group’s girl-power legacy.
The controversy has deepened as fans debate the authenticity of the leak. Some unboxing videos of early physical albums reportedly show no mention of Dr. Luke in the liner notes, contradicting the digital leak. This discrepancy has led some to wonder if the producer’s name was scrubbed or if the internet jumped the gun.
With the official album release set for this Friday, the music industry is watching closely. Critics and supporters alike are waiting to see if the group will address the fallout or if the damage to their brand is already done.
