Prime Video Joins Alia Bhatt-BLACKPINK Jennie Song Drama and Bails After Boycott Heat
Okay, fam, grab your popcorn—Prime Video India just stepped into a steaming pile of fan war drama and got roasted so hard they had to hit delete. On March 6, 2025, the streaming giant waded into the Alia Bhatt vs. BLACKPINK Jennie showdown over a new song teaser, dropped a shady post, and then backpedaled faster than you can say “unsubscribe” after BLINKs (Jennie’s stans) called for a boycott. What’s the tea? Jennie’s Like Jennie teaser dropped, Alia’s fans cried “copycat” over Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’s Rani’s Intro Theme, and Prime Video thought it’d be cute to pick a side. Spoiler: it wasn’t. Did they just tank their clout, or is this a storm in a teacup? Let’s unpack this chaos—things got wild, and we’re spilling it all.
The Main Scoop: How Prime Video Stepped In and Stepped Out
This whole mess is peak 2025 internet energy—fandoms clashing, brands fumbling, and X lighting up like a Christmas tree. Here’s the full breakdown, served hot.
1. The Song Drama That Started It All
It kicked off when BLACKPINK’s Jennie dropped a teaser for Like Jennie on March 4, 2025, hyping her solo album Ruby (out March 7). Cue the chaos: Alia Bhatt’s fans clocked similarities with Rani’s Intro Theme from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), composed by Pritam. Same beat? Same vibe? X users like @lararajgirl screamed, “Jennie plagiarizing Pritam? Diabolical!” BLINKs fired back, “Sampling’s not stealing, chill.” The feud exploded—Alia fans flexed her Bollywood cred, Jennie stans touted her global star power, and it got ugly with racist digs flying both ways. Enter Prime Video India, ready to stir the pot.
2. Prime Video’s Shady Move: Memeing Into the Mess
On March 6 at 6:31 AM PST, Prime Video India’s X account posted a still of Alia as Rani, captioned, “BLACKPINK fans, we bet you can hear this image (sobbing and side-eye emojis).” Alia’s squad ate it up—“Prime ain’t coming slow,” tweeted @aliafanatic. But BLINKs? Oh, they were pissed. Comments rolled in: “Clout-chasing much?” (@jisooswar) and “Unprofessional AF, boycott Prime!” (@blinkvibes). The post racked up 10K+ views in hours before the heat got too real. Prime clearly thought they’d score easy points with Alia’s desi fam—big nope.
3. Boycott Calls: BLINKs Bring the Heat
BLINKs didn’t play nice—#BoycottPrimeVideoIndia trended on X by 7 AM PST, with posts like “Apologize to Jennie, clowns” (@jennierubyjane). Stats from X show 5K+ boycott mentions in under an hour—wild, right? Fans accused Prime of “pitting queens against each other” and dragging Jennie for likes. One user, @bpproblematic, snarked, “Prime’s out here farming engagement while their content flops—pathetic.” The pressure worked—Prime yeeted the post by 8 AM PST, leaving no trace but screenshots. Did they underestimate BLINKs’ wrath? 100%.
4. The Bigger Vibe: Brands and Fandoms Don’t Mix
This ain’t Prime’s first L—remember when they got flak for Mirzapur spoilers? But jumping into a Bollywood-K-pop fan war? Rookie move. Fandoms are ride-or-die—Alia’s got 80M Insta followers, Jennie’s got 82M, and both camps will fight. Prime’s post wasn’t just shady; it was a gamble on clout that backfired. Compare Netflix India—they stay slick, dropping memes without picking sides. Prime’s delete-and-run screams damage control, but did it save face or just fuel the fire?
The Wrap: Prime Video’s Fumble, Fandoms’ Win
So, Prime Video India thought they’d flex some meme game in the Alia Bhatt-Jennie song saga, but BLINKs said, “Not today, fam.” Their shady post lasted mere hours before boycott vibes forced a retreat—proof you don’t mess with stan armies in 2025. The Alia-Jennie drama’s still simmering (is Like Jennie a rip-off or a coincidence? Full song’s out tomorrow!), but Prime’s the real loser here—caught clout-chasing and bailing when it got too hot. Lesson? Brands, stay in your lane—fandoms don’t play. Wanna see how this ends? Keep an eye on India Entertainments —shit’s still popping off.
