Summer Walker fans are fin to be tired of her. After the gifted singer dropped pictures of her new haircut, shaved on the side with a gathering patch for her loc ponytail on the top in the center of her head, her supporters took to social media to express how hard it is to stand with her.

The Still Over It singer has done songs with Drake, Bryson Tiller, JT from the City Girls, SZA, and a gang of other top folks, but often seems unphased by her newfound celebrity.

And some of them are p##### — saying they were tired of defending her “creative” ways.

Some just ruthlessly teased.
