Fans were wondering why Selena Gomez didn’t show up in Charlie’s new music video. The pop singer simply said that they “don’t talk anymore”.

Charlie Puth’s music video to We Don’t Talk Anymore is a unique little art piece where a split screen shows the lives of a separated couple after a breakup. Although the song features guest vocals from Selena Gomez, the music video Charlie put out to accompany it, doesn’t contain any appearance of the Kill Em with Kindness songstress.
There were rumors that the two singers used to date a lot, and her no-show in the music video of her song collaboration with Charlie might signify some spat.
When, earlier this month, Charlie answered a fan's question about why Selena wasn't in his new WDTA music video responding, "Because we don't talk anymore," everyone thought it was just an innocent play on words. But based on his most recent move on Instagram, there could actually be some bad blood brewing between the pair.
First, Charlie didn't give Selena a shout-out in his tweet about the official We Don't Talk Anymore video.
Here's a song I wrote and produced with J Kash, one of the best in the game. Enjoy :) https://t.co/6QGzrmjnYE

Then fans noticed some suspicious and interesting tweets Charlie posted amidst the whole Selena-Bieber Instagram War.
The term "narcissistic" sure sounds a lot like "artist" nowadays. Bummer...

But I believe we still inspire each other everyday!

All of these clues could be totally circumstantial, but then fans spotted the most damning evidence: Charlie apparently unfollowed Selena on Instagram.

So what’s going on?
Celebrities often mysteriously unfollow other celebrities to great uproar in the fandom only to come out and blame it on a pesky Instagram glitch, like that time Ariana Grande seemingly unfollowed Justin Bieber. So maybe that's what's happening here.
But in a series of text messages exchanged between him and BuzzFeed on Tuesday, Charlie only had lovely things to say about Selena.
When asked what it was like to work with her, Charlie wrote, "Usually when you know you've produced a hit song, you record vocals in a fancy studio, with multiple engineers. She literally recorded her vocal into a mic that I held with my hand in a walk closet at my lawyers house. Not very glamorous. She was such a good sport though. We had a lot of fun."
So, you figure. Maybe there was scheduling conflicts over the music video shoot or whatever. The truth will unravel sooner or later! So in the meantime, enjoy the music!
