Camila Cabello's career may be in jeopardy.
After the less-than-impressive debut of her latest single, Don't Go Yet, on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned that the 24-year-old Cuban-American songstress' team is concerned about her future.
"Camila pulled out all the stops for her to come back and spent a fortune on the video," insiders tell us, noting that she "even did a performance of this song on [The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy] Fallon."
"But it just doesn't seem to be connecting with the fans," added our sources. "She needs a hit. The plan for her was to put out new music and a new album [to showcase on] a new arena tour. But without hits, all of that will be very difficult."
Cabello's return to music last week was met with mediocre results; her hyped-up Latin-pop anthem debuted in the 42nd spot on Billboard's Hot 100. Since then, it's plummeted into the 60s on the iTunes sales chart.
It didn't help that her first performance of the song was met with instant backlash over a backup dancer fans believed was sporting blackface.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, the dancer in question – Dylan Pearce – was seen only toward the end of Cabello's lively performance on Fallon's stage, but his overwhelmingly tanned face stood out among the crowd.
