The music video for Ice Cream, which was released on BLACKPINK’s YouTube channel on Thursday, August 27, 2020, has hundreds of millions of views.

But sadly, this Ice Cream song was marred by allegations of religious abuse. The accusation of this insult lies in the lyrics of the song The part of Lisa that mentions the name of Prophet Musa (Moses) in the lyrics of the song Ice Cream in verse 1, or in the 00.33 minutes.

Bekuh Boom, as lyricist for the song Ice Cream, clears up allegations of religious harassment. Previously, the United States songwriter who often collaborated with YG Entertainment artists from BLACKPINK, Taeyang BIGBANG to iKon, was involved in performing songs like Kill This Love, Whistle, Ddu Du Ddu Du, Boombayah, and Don’t Know What Everything. .

1. Accused of abusing the prophet Musa
The lyrics of the song Ice Cream are found with the word Prophet Musa or Moses in English. In the lyrics sung by Lisa, it says, “Play the part as Moses.” Quoted from the Genius website on August 28, 2020, Bekuh Boom explained the meaning of the lyrics that have now become controversial.

“Musa parted the Red Sea, whoever knows the story. Basically, I would need you to figure it out if you were my man. That’s the standard. If you can’t part the sea, then you can’t party with me,” he said.

But the statement by the woman whose real name is Rebecca Rose Johnson actually sparked protests from many people on social media. “Brr, brr, frozen, you’re the one. Play the part like Moses, keep it cool like roses (Oh) (Brr Brr froze, you are the chosen one. Play as Prophet Musa, stay fresh as a rose) “.

2.Consider a play on words (punchline)

In response to numerous protests related to the prophet Musa’s lyrics, Bekuh Boom also clarified that he did not intend to insult religion. The 26-year-old composer explained that he only punched the lyrics as a punchline.
