NO:ZE has been scrutinized for breaking the contracts she has with small businesses.
Small brands that, reportedly, have contracts with NO:ZE recently came forward and accused her of having poor professionalism that affects their businesses even more. They all accused her of delaying their brand deal posts, one of which disclosed that the dancer even deleted an ad immediately although she had just posted it.
Her agency commented on the matter and explained that there are certain posting schedules that have a process before its artist officially shares it. It also noted that NO:ZE consulted the company before taking down a post.
Still, NO:ZE received more hate messages after she joined the Street Woman Fighter reunion concert.
