“I love and support Nadine. Careless too. Don’t question that,” he said on Dec. 14 via Twitter, referring to his label Careless Music Manila (CMM).

I love and support nadine. Careless too. Don’t question that. Ofcourse we don’t condone any hateful comments towards anyone. Honestly I don’t think it’s worth anyone’s time addressing them. Let’s focus on positivity ❤️ Careless won’t be working with anyone that insults my artists

“Ofcourse (sic) we don’t condone any hateful comments towards anyone. Honestly I don’t think it’s worth anyone’s time addressing them,” he said. “Let’s focus on positivity. Careless won’t be working with anyone that insults my artists.”

Reid did not mention what controversy involved his reel and real-life girlfriend and his independent record label.

Recently, some of Lustre’s fans expressed disappointment via social media over Lustre’s involvement with CMM. They alleged that the label had failed to defend her from negative comments including criticisms that she had less talent than others in CMM.

Reid founded Careless with Bret Jackson (aka KingwAw), which has signed artists including rapper AstroKidd, Ghanaian-Filipino Massiah, Sofia Romualdez, rapper Curtismith and, of course, Lustre.

“Palm Dreams,” the label’s first album, was a runaway success. Lustre had some involvement in it, particularly in co-directing the music video for “The Life.”

The crew dropped a collaboration last October through “Careless Mixtape,” which showcased original pop, hip-hop and R&B creations.  /ra
