Fifth Harmony Disses Camila Cabello Twice At MTV Video Music Awards 2017
So much for not being shady! Fifth Harmony seemed to have no problem dissing former group member Camila Cabello twice while attending the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The first jab of the night came during a red carpet interview with Charlamagne tha God, who is one of the host of The Breakfast Club on NYC radio station Power 105.1.
The radio host, who is known for stirring up controversy and attempting to make celebrities address their feuds, asked the foursome if they would be willing to share the award for best choreography with Cabello if they were to win.
The ladies all awkwardly smiled until Normani Kordei answered his question. “If we win we’d give to our choreographer, Sean Bankhead,” she said.
Bankhead has choreographed several of Fifth Harmony’s epic dance routines and even created dance sequences on Lee Daniels’ hit Fox series “Star.”
In 2015, he told NBCBLK that he found it easy to work with 5H. “It can be challenging at times because you’re dealing with so many distinctive personalities and different moods but I’m finding out that working with girl groups is my specialty,” he said.
Bankhead now has one less personality to deal with seeing as Cabello abruptly left the group in December 2016 to become a solo artist. Since her departure, the “Crying in the Club” singer has spoken about the difficulties of being in a girl group and how she was in a dark place during her time in Fifth Harmony.
For the most part, the remaining members of the group have seemed to downplay her exit up until now. Fifth Harmony’s second diss toward Cabello during the VMAs came when Kordei, Dinah Jane Hansen, Ally Brooke Hernandez and Lauren Jauregui hit the stage to perform two songs off of their self-titled album.
The four ladies appeared on an elevated stage with what seemed to be a fifth member. However, when the music started the mystery member most likely imitating Cabello jumped off the stage, leaving the four women front and center.
Prior to hitting the stage, Jauregui told People that their performance would be one to remember. “We’re extremely excited. This is definitely one of the biggest moments of our careers — something we’ve worked so hard for to get to a place where people would want us on the stage, so we’re excited as heck for it… there are so many surprises,” she teased ahead of the show.
“It’s gonna be a truly memorable moment,” Hernandez added.
The singer went on to praise fans who stuck by their sides through all of the drama. “Thank you so much to everybody who’s been a fan of us and supported us. It’s really incredible. It’s such an honor to be nominated for a VMA. I mean, our favorite artists of all time have been nominated!”
Shade aside, the group did get emotional when they won the best pop video for their single “Down” with Gucci Mane. “I’m so glad we’re in this together. I had a vision for us, and I’m just so grateful for how far we’ve come. I love you guys with all my heart,” Hernandez said to her group members on stage as she tried to hold back tears.
