The exit of Cabello from Fifth Harmony caused a big fuss because of the conflicting statements from the two parties.
The remaining members of Fifth Harmony first announced that Cabello had informed them "via her representatives" that she would be leaving the group. However, Cabello countered their statement by saying that her bandmates were aware of her plans to pursue a solo career.
However, Fifth Harmony revealed in another statement that in the months leading to Cabello's exit, they "consistently made every effort to sit down and discuss the future of Fifth Harmony with Camila," but the now solo artist simply won't cooperate.
Recently, Cabello also debuted her first single as a solo artist, titled "Crying in the Club." The new solo artist also had a live performance of the song at the Billboard Music Awards this year.
Cabello's live performance of "Crying in the Club" garnered an excited response from Katy Perry on Twitter, commending her for her number.
