R&B artist Miguel has publicly denounced over a year of online abuse targeting himself, his partner Margaret Zhang, and their child. In a detailed Instagram statement, the performer emphasized that racist attacks and harassment directed at his family members represent serious misconduct rather than legitimate criticism or opinion.
The singer-songwriter stressed that while public figures must accept scrutiny related to their professional work, certain behaviors cross fundamental lines. He distinguished between acceptable commentary and harmful conduct, noting that racist remarks, threats, privacy violations, and attacks on children constitute abuse regardless of how they are framed or justified.
Miguel also assigned responsibility to online platforms and content creators who knowingly amplify or enable such abuse for engagement and attention. He warned that participating in this behavior contradicts claims of support and places individuals outside his community. The artist indicated that legal and ethical measures have been implemented and will continue where boundaries have been violated.
The statement comes as Miguel continues his career following the release of his 2025 album “Caos,” which explored themes of self-reflection and personal growth. He expressed gratitude toward supporters who have shown his family respect and dignity throughout this period.
