KJ Apa Seemingly Slams “Liar” Mr. Fantasy for Stealing His Image

KJ Apa looking serious and thinking during an interview
  • KJ Apa calls a singer a ‘liar.’
  • The drama over a music video lookalike.
  • Why the Riverdale star is actually mad.

We just saw the weirdest celebrity feud of the week. You know KJ Apa? The guy from Riverdale with the famous hair? Well, he is not happy right now.

There is a singer out there who goes by the name Mr. Fantasy. He just dropped a new music video. The thing is, he looks exactly like KJ. It’s spooky. Like, mirror-image level spooky.

KJ isn’t flattered. Not at all. He seemingly slammed the singer and called him a ‘liar’ for using his image. Yikes. That is a bold move.

The music video has a very specific aesthetic. It uses a dark, moody vibe with lots of neon. It looks like they tried to copy KJ’s personal style perfectly. Our team at BuzzMedia noticed the colors feel very ‘indie actor’ chic.

This reminds us of other stars standing up for themselves. Remember when Zoë Kravitz called out that High Fidelity post? Same energy. People want to control how they are seen.

It is almost like a casting mistake. Sai Pallavi once said she felt she was miscast in a role. But in this case, KJ feels like he was replaced by a clone!

The whole situation is a big mystery. It feels like the kind of drama composer Jeff Beal would write music for. Just lots of tension and confusing faces.

Our Take

Look, we love a good doppelgänger. It is fun to see people who look like stars. But using someone’s actual face and ‘vibe’ to sell a song? That feels a bit lazy. KJ has every right to be annoyed. Be original, Mr. Fantasy!
