Filipino-American artist Bella Poarch has dropped her sophomore single, “Inferno,” which she wrote as a way to address her being abused in the past.
Bella Poarch teams up with Sub Urban as they get back at sexual predators in the music video posted on her official YouTube channel yesterday, Aug. 13.
“Trigger warning: As a victim of sexual assault, this song and video mean a lot to me. This is something I haven’t been ready to share with you just yet. It’s very hard for me to talk about. But I’m ready now,” the singer revealed in the comments section.
“I decided to express myself by creating a song and video with Sub Urban based on how I wished my experience went. It’s a fantasy I wish was true. I’m looking forward to sharing this with you all,” she added.
Just like in her “Build a Bitch” music video, Bella Poarch got her friends and fellow content creators to appear in “Inferno,” including fellow Filipino-Americans Valkyrae and Bretman Rock.
In a surprise cameo, Filipino YouTuber and actress Ivana Alawi also appeared in the music video for a few moments at around the 2:38 mark.
“Don’t blink [fire emoji] Did you spot someone familiar in @bellapoarch new MV?” Alawi shared on her Instagram page also yesterday.
The post came with a stunning photo of her donning the dress she wore in the music video, which was set in what appears to be a hotel bar.
“Congrats babe! So glad to have been able to join you, even for a quick glance.. Make sure to watch her newest MV Inferno! Cheers,” Alawi said.
Among the online stars who appeared in the music video are TommyInnit, Ludwig, Disguised Toast, Adin Ross
Fuslie, QuarterJade, Staryuuki, Courage, Pokimane, StarSmitten, LilyPichu, Yvonnie and TinaKitten. /ra
