Country pop star Jessie Murph has sparked controversy after the release of her song 1965, a track featuring lyrics about relinquishing rights and tolerating a ‘slap-slap’ for a romantic relationship – with the music video also facing accusations of praising pornography and domestic violence.
And the backlash continued after Jessie left a flirty comment on Addison Rae‘s recent thirst trap – with followers attempting to keep the musician from the influencer.
A fully-clothed Addison, 24, donned red stilettos as she struck seductive poses on her bed, a checkered red crop top showing off her arched back.
‘Hot,’ Jessie, 20, commented.
The message garnered 644 ‘likes’ – but several Addison fans jumped in to seemingly prevent any further communication from occurring, with one telling Jessie to return to 1965.
‘STAY AWAY FROM HER,’ one Instagram user said directly to Jessie.

‘girl get out,’ another told Jessie.
‘get OUT OF HERE,’ one commenter wrote while another wrote in, ‘shoo go baq to 1965.’
‘not jessie murph,’ one wrote with two sob emojis, prompting one to reply, ‘no fr i frowned.’
‘Jessie Murph is… A choice but go off baddie,’ another posted.
‘Her music is trash, is what they are saying,’ one said in response.
Jessie’s controversial 1965 track sees the musician singing about giving ‘up a few rights’ and taking ‘a slap’ if it meant she’d be treated more respectfully by men.
She performed the controversial tune on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with the lines yearning for her beau to ‘love her like it’s 1965’.
Her ballad was also nostalgic for a time period where courting gentlemen were ‘handwriting letters’ and ‘showing up at the door with flowers’ instead of ‘hit[ting] [women] up on Snapchat’ at 2am.
Jessie expressed her appreciation for Addison’s post with a simple ‘Hot’ comment – which fans were not appreciative of

The track also includes risque lines like ‘I might get a little slap-slap, but you wouldn’t hit me on Snapchat’ and ‘I would be twenty, and it’d be acceptable for you to be forty’.
During her Tonight Show performance, the star donned a Priscilla Presley beehive and a baby pink mini dress with patterned tights as she danced on a stage with a retro sofa in what appeared to be a recreation of the ‘tradwife’ lifestyle, charming husband on hand.
The term refers to women who perform ‘traditional’ gendered roles, often likened to the archetypal 1950s ‘housewife’.
Recent interest in the aesthetic has seen millions on social media calling for girls to ditch corporate life and instead, dedicate their days to cooking, cleaning, wearing modest and feminine dress, and practicing traditional etiquette – as well as being submissive to their husbands.
Jessie’s tune attracted fury online, with many branding the remark ‘tasteless’ for making light of a time in which women endured horrific misogyny.
In both England and the US, marital rape was still legal during the era, and women could not open their own bank account, among other restrictions.

‘In 1965, it was legal for men to rape their wives. I don’t care if this is meant to be ironic or satirical or whatever, I absolutely hate it,’ one commenter on social media penned.
Another added: ‘Like what does loving like it’s 1965 even mean? Getting your a** beat? having no rights is romantic? I hate the white woman 50s-60s “aesthetic”.’
A third simply exclaimed: ‘”I think id give up a few rights if you would just love me like it’s 1965″ SORRY?????’
‘Call me too woke but “I would give up rights if you love me like it’s 1965” at a time where women are actually losing rights is so insane???’ another offered.
Others similarly agreed, writing: ‘Has anyone else heard the song 1965 by Jessie Murph?

‘Read the lyrics, it’s literally far right propaganda that is encouraging women to give up their rights. People are saying it’s satire but given everything going on, why say this while we are literally at risk of losing our rights ??’.
After her performance, Jessie thanked the Tonight show for a ‘dazzling’ and ‘grand time’.
The Alabama-born singer first rose to fame from uploading vlogs and song covers to TikTok and YouTube – which led her on to releasing her two albums: That Ain’t No Man That’s the Devil in 2024 and Sex Hysteria in 2025.
She also received backlash when the music video for her song, 1965, was released – with some accusing the footage of being pornography, Taste of Country reported.
In the retro-inspired clips that shows a family around a table – and Jessie forlornly singing to a child – as there is also a brief shot of a couple having sex.
The clip – which has to have age verification to be watched – drew comments like ‘the fact that YouTube removes videos for way less and this is still up is insane’.
Jessie resorted to taking to TikTok to insist that ‘the entire song is satire’, quipping: ‘Are y’all stupid?’.
