In a headline that looks like it was spat out of a ‘2018 buzz word’ generator, Canadian pop sensation Shawn Mendes has apologised for liking a transphobic tweet posted by none other than Aussie, alt-right, neo-nazi d*ckhead Blair Cottrell.
We’re not too sure how this Venn diagram ever came to be, but Mendes copped a lot of flak for liking the tweet – which you can view if you must here.

However, Mendes was quick to rectify the issue by unliking the tweet, and delivering a prompt apology on Twitter.

Mendes will be in the country later this year, where he’ll be playing a whole string of massive arena shows as a part of his worldwide tour supporting his self-titled album, released last year.
