I don’t usually pay any mind to things like this, but something has to be said. This dangerous, toxic, internet screaming match between ‘fandoms’ has to stop. I’m 28 years old, so it doesn’t really mean anything to me when some person I don’t know writes a nasty message to me... — Charlie Puth (@charlieputh) July 5, 2020

With 10,000 retweets, within three hours, Charlie Puth wrote, "...I don't know what that means - I love those guys, and they are super talented.

...saying things like “I used BTS for clout”. I don’t know what that means- I love those guys and they are super talented. — Charlie Puth (@charlieputh) July 5, 2020

In the 2018 performance of BTS, Charlie Puth performed a duet with Jungkook, and they sang "We Don't Talk Anymore" at the MBC Plus X Genie Music Awards. Puth praised the talent of the group and asked for peace.

BTS ARMY answered

The K-pop group's legions called BTS ARMY likely spammed several posts of the singer in Tiktok with several teasing comments from the boyband's followers. One wrote, "Remember when you used Jungkook four clout?" the commenter referred to the 22-year-old BTS member. Other posts claimed that Charlie used BTS for "fame," as per Variety.

BTS' Twitter fans reacted with some confusion by citing a difference between BTS' TikTok and Twitter fans.
