How come Kid Laroi doesn’t face the same backlash as Iggy did?(Laroi jumped in Chicago)

Little motherfukker looks like he'd be the teenage son on some corny white 90's family sitcom like Home Improvement or some shyt

He’s a kid and he’s not problematic.

He’s also in the Juice WRLD lane which means a lot of white fans.

Iggy rapped in a “blaccent”, Laroi uses the typical alt rocker type voice.

People saw Iggy in interviews and social being what they saw as disrespectful and told her to chill...she doubled down....TI had to defend her....she disrespected Q-Tip and then TI disassociated himself from her.

All of her disputes and shyt on social media started to become bigger than her music

Yeah Iggy was trying to endear black rap fans with her music because there is no substantial white female rap fanbase

Kid Laroi doesn’t need black fans so he doesn’t have to reach as far voice or aesthetic

Iggy went hard trying to be black and failed miserably


This Laroi kid (first time looking him up) makes soft alt rock rap while looking like a backstreet boy


Why are you upset nobody cares about Iggy?

I’m not upset, Im just trying to present a new convo to this board


do you want me making Nas vs Jay z threads?

I do think Iggy was “over hated” tho. I think a lot of people in rap saw her as representing something that she clearly wasn’t

He is? I know he's charting but Iggy has him lapped in IG followers by a large amount and she's irrelevant as fukk musically now. Sure he's pretty new but Iggy is much more of a household name than Laroi is. Time will still tell the tale though.

People follow iggy for the thot pics not the music. This guy has a platinum album, top 10 song, number 1 song, 55+ million monthly listeners on spotfiy

I'm not talking about music only. Sure he's doing well on the charts and i recognize that, but he's still nowhere near as popular as Iggy is as a brand. I don't even know how any of his songs sound.

Edit: I heard it on Billboard the other day while checking their site, and :hhh:

Never heard a song of his in my life, I just know Bibby eats off of him

Yep basically found himself a Australian juice world once Breh died. Bibby is a smart dude. As for OP that genre of music Laroi does is basically cac emo rock that’s been around since the early 2000s. Iggy is a culture culture wigger who sucks. That’s why

Kid Laroi isn't trying to act black how conveniently that left the most important part of the Iggy slander out.
Just went through a bunch of his shyt on Youtube, his shyt sounds like stuff that would've gotten played on MTV back in the day and some Juice WRLD shyt.

He isn't trying to sound like he's black.

Iggy used a very specific Blaccent as her rapping voice. From what I can tell This Kid is just a typical auto tune artist. I don’t think he uses Blaccent like Iggy
