Usually, fans take pride in their support — or worship — of a given celebrity. The fan clubs of the ’90s have turned into social media clans who proudly proclaim themselves Tamartians or members of the Beyhive.

But every now and then a fan does something that makes you regret calling yourself a fan. And in the case of these nine stars, they do such things so often some fans are embarrassed to even call themselves fans anymore. Can you relate? Click through the list and tell us which stars you still ride for and which have made you rescind your fanship for good.

Mariah Carey

As a lamb, it pains me to write this, but not as much as it does making excuses for Mimi’s inconsistent vocals and consistent diva-like behavior. Just when the lambily thought Mariah’s Christmas concert series at the Beacon was a sign she’d gotten her priorities together, she went and flubbed through her Rockin New Year’s Eve performance and gave an equally obnoxious excuse for not singing not a single lyric during her performance, if you can call it that.

Kanye West

A lot of fans were perturbed when Kanye snatched Taylor Swift’s award at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, but it took Yeezy’s marrying of Kim Kardashian and the vocal transformation that accompanied that union to cause many to truly fall out of musical love with the man who once declared “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.” And even still a number of fans held on tight for the sake of the pure musical genius of the rapper and producer, but 2,345 Twitter rants and an overly publicized meeting with Donald Trump later, many have forgotten Kanye was ever actually likable.

Brandy

Sometimes it seems Brandy doesn’t understand what a big deal she was — and still is — especially to Black girls. I mean, she couldn’t, right? Or else there’s no way she’d be playing the part of the bitter, broken ’90s star in need of an R&B rivalry 19 years after “The Boy is Mine.”

Meek Mill

Reputation is everything in rap, and yours kinda gets irreparably tarnished when you start a rap beef and get murdered by the so-called softest rapper in the game. When people are tweeting RIP messages about you and you’re still alive, consider your fans embarrassed.

Azealia Banks

There were a lot of people rooting for Azealia Banks, especially since her rise to popularity coincided with the unwelcome fame of Iggy Azealia. But once Azealia started popping off on people more than she did beats, tolerance for her antics quickly declined. By the time the Russell Crowe incident came to pass, fans were already at an impasse with her.

Kim Burrell

It takes a lot to turn people of faith against you and Kim Burrell pushed past the church and many fan’s spirit of understanding when she preached a sermon condemning “the perverted and homosexual spirit” of delusion and confusion.

Chris Brown

We won’t even get into the physically abusive behavior which was for more than embarrassing to Breezy fans, we’re just going to talk about the 7,849 other ridiculous things he did post-2009, like beef with every famous woman from Tamar Braxton to Tinashe; threaten Drake, Frank Ocean, Kevin McCall, and Souljah Bot; get arrested more times than we care to think about; disrespect Karruecche a million times over; and leave us discussing his shortcomings more than his singles.

Trey Songz

Trey Songz hasn’t actually released a new song in…wel, it’s been a minute. Far too long for him to resurface in the news only because he tore down the set during his Detroit performance. FYI, that’s not a colloquialism, he literally tore down the set.

Musiq Soulchild performs live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

Musiq

Musiq Soulchild will forever be a gem of the neo-soul movement, which is why fans felt especially lost when the singer reinvented himself as The Husel and wanted the name Musiq to never be uttered again. Kinda hard to be a fan of someone when you don’t even know who they are.
