Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello won the award for Favorite Musical Collaboration at the Kids' Choice Awards and Cabello's "slime" comment has gotten some people talking.

Mendes and Cabello received the award for their collaboration on the hit song 'Senorita'. Mendes also won the award for Favorite Male Artist. The couple shared their excitement and gratitude for their award on a video message.

They said, "Thank you so much for the Kids’ Choice Award, we love you so much," while also expressing disappointment at not being able to accept the award in person.

After stating she wished they could have accepted the award and gotten "slimed", Mendes added, "We wish that we could be there with you, but we hope that everybody is staying safe," right before Cabello quipped, "We’re going to make organic slime and slime ourselves."

Fans shared several messages in support of the two, stating "CONGRATULATIONS TO CAMILA AND SHAWN ON THEIR KIDS CHOICE AWARDS!! @CamilaAccess @Camila_Cabello (senorita) @ShawnAccess @ShawnMendes (best male artist, senorita)."

Many fans gushed over the couple's adorable video, noting how visibly enamored Cabello was with Mendes and tweeting "Find someone who looks at you like Camila looks to Shawn."

However, most fans could not get past Cabello's comment about "organic slime", because unfortunately, it takes on a rather sexual connotation when phrased that way. And while Cabello herself hasn't clarified whether this was intentional or not, many viewers believe it's exactly what she meant.

"Ok I'm watching the kcas and when senorita won best collab Camila said her and Shawn were going to make organic slime and it took me a second," tweeted one viewer.

Another bemused viewer stated, "When Camila and Shawn won the award, Camila said they'll make organic slime— O-org-organic s-sl-slime—- B***H THIS A KIDS TV SHOW WTF."

Another stated, "WHAAT?! I must be hearing things!" adding, "Even Shawn seemed not prepared for Camila's final words / Funniest girl ever! She should do comedy."

But while many comments were lighthearted, a stream of hate comments directed at Cabello soon overshadowed all of them. One user stated, "I'm alright with Shawn but Camila a dumb b***h."

Another tweeted, "Shawn Mendes stopped being cute when he started dating Camila." One user said, "You could be holding me at gunpoint and I still wouldn't have anything good to say about Shawn and Camila."

Cabello has been at the receiving end of a significant amount of hate since she began dating Mendes, though she was already receiving hate long before their relationship was made official.

The comments range from calling her out on her past racism and treatment of fellow Fifth Harmony member Normani to fans of Mendes and haters insisting their relationship is nothing more than a PR stunt.

While Cabello's fans spend a lot of time trying to defend her, some fans came to the defense of both artistes, tweeting "That some Shawn stans and Camila stans keep looking down on and won’t respect each other is the ugliest and the most unnecessary thing on this app."

Other users were upset for different reasons, as one tweeted, "'Señorita' Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, over ME! By @taylorswift13 and @brendonurie? I DEMAND a RECOUNT!"
