And a number of alleged BLACKPINK fans thought it was shade against Jennie as it coincided in the time ‘SOLO’ was released.

With initial reactions claiming CL was targeting Jennie’s release, CL took it into her own hands to clear the air. She wasn’t referring to Jennie, she was only celebrating Dara‘s birthday! Dara’s nickname has been ‘rabbit/bunny’ since their 2NE1 days.
Duhh

Only dara rabbit can

BLACKJACKs soon jumped onto the threads to explain to the salty netizens that the only rabbit in CL’s book is the adorable Dara!

CL’s Rabbit & Tiger tweet was in fact preceded and followed by multiple tweets about Dara’s (and CL’s mom’s) birthday, further putting shade rumors to rest.

“+I thought this was Ssantokki (Sandara Rabbit) but it was Junsuke Yamasaki Rabbit😂+ #Sorry” — CL
The response online was supportive especially after fans found proof that it wasn’t shade thrown against Jennie at all.
I know we blinks are clowns, but can we stop being dumb clowns? CL was NOT directing any sort of shade towards Jennie in her tweet, she's not that kind of person. Stop taking things out of context. I don't want to see ya all big blink accounts spread this around negatively. pic.twitter.com/aQycGtbn8D

CL doesnt NEED to tweet about BLACKPINK or Jennie. like she doesnt tweet about iKON nor Winner neither like its not obligated for labelmates to promote each other unless they want to but it's not a fucking obligation.

In fact, they found evidence that CL was supportive of her fellow YG Entertainment artist.
CL liked a tweet saying "STREAM #JENNIESOLO" Can y'all fuck off assuming she's throwing shade now? pic.twitter.com/eXi8mfU3IO

This is so embarrassing 🤦♀️ stop hating CL and stop assuming that the tweet is a shade for Jennie 🤦♀️ pic.twitter.com/8wsvKXyTgb

Many soon began to assume that CL’s tweet was low-key aimed against YG Entertainment considering how she was left on the sidelines, having her solo US album on an indefinite halt for years.
ME TOO
