Sadly no one will ever take her seriously again.. :francis:

I don’t think people understand how hard it is for our people to get these type of corporate roles.

The whole thing is just dumb. You quit your job, just to do a harder job for significantly less pay. I guarantee working in that damn sandwich shop mopping floors, doing dishes, and making sandwiches is more draining then working in a office in front of a laptop.

Its five years later, so she would have been making even more money. Perhaps she could have looked internally for other corporate NBA jobs that don’t require as many work hours so that she can work on her music, or find jobs outside the company

However, I understand she was young, and living in her head. She didn’t have enough life experience to understand that this isn’t a great move.

I think 22 is too young to be tied down in some career for 5-10 years. fukk it explore run around etc
Are you nikkas retarded? :skip: You nikkas let social media poison your minds into thinking that living for right now is better then living for the future. This type of thinking is part of the reason our people dont have generational wealth

I don’t think it’s smart to give up
A guaranteed career to become a rapper especially these days. It makes more sense if you’re working a small time job, but not if you already have a career.. and she was young with it too?? :snoop: These fans aren’t supportive enough anymore. You have to be on some dumb shyt just to get noticed now. Hope she can bounce back… wherever she is.

She's was distracted by the prospect of fame and bright lights, then got blinded and dizzy. She got that corporate job easy and took it from granted. She's a terrible decision maker and her corporate bosses may not realize just how lucky they are she's gone.

These jobs are hard to land yes, and she could have joined the ranks of the elites and stayed there for life just raking it in.

I'm a manager, I've worked with 4 artist and all went on to sign major label deals, the youngest is 21 he signed for 1.1M with 650k in pocket last year.

Founded one of the most successful independent labels in Texas with my old partner (billboard and Forbes articles about it) but walked away to just manage because being an exec comes with too much baggage I rather avoid.

I've already posted how much money I've made in the past, I've had multiple 500k+ years and a million dollar year, being a manager barely pays shyt compared to my other income source, shyt really a passion project, expensive hobby; you guys have such low standards for what a black man can accomplish in life to call something that petty cap.

You didn't know there are dudes that make their entire living off getting kids to labels? It's called an A&R dude, I curve A&R jobs because the idea of working for a major label makes me want to kill myself.
