Teyana Taylor is the most spoiled ass rich kid I've ever scene
been famous since she was 15 and done nothing with her career primarily because of other people holding her back

Pharrell has no power he says so himself all the time. contracts forced him into the producer role instead of artist

the industry...

The language/framing is going to garner some attention in this current climate but it sounds like she got treated like most artists who sign to a rapper or producer. You're getting fukked - business wise, not sexually. Your only means of making it work is by hustling and when you're 15 years old you can't do that because you don't control your schedule.

It's just a bad decision. If it works, like for instance Rocafella, it's because the artists hustled and used the connection to their benefit. Beans, Bleek, Freeway etc were raking in money off features and shows because they were affiliated with Jay. You do that and sprinkle a hit in every now and then, you can eat.

She was 15 :mjtf: what are you nikkas expecting to hear? She thought his music success meant he was respected behind the scenes and it threw her off to see him not hold any weight. Unless her parents worked in the industry they're gonna be just as naive (and thirsty for their child's money)

Music industry doesn't give a fukk about age, you're getting groomed and signed to a 360 and taken advantage of unless someone with a reputation is keeping the wolves away.

Nothing she said here sounded weird or wrong. Pharrell being a pushover isn't surprising at all, he just shouldn't be playing mentor like that if the rest of the industry knows he ain't the type to take control of the situation.

Big Sean sounded the same way when he was tryna explain why he never stood up to Kanye about anything
i heard exactly what i expected from a spoiled brat

entitlement

this situation in no way reflects Seans. that's a reach. :laff:

where’s your family at 15 years old and why your parents didn’t hire a attorney or agent to help monitor your finances and career..

Like I said looking at other greats and what they had to go through with nas, cube, Jay etc helping nikkas get on, but they also have to be motherfukkers daddies and guide them through out they life and take the blame when these nikkas don’t succeed , make u think like fukk everyone and just do me

This is way too vague for her to be saying.

If she’s talking about regular industry shyt and contracts, then she’s foul for framing it this way and using the words “you didn’t protect me” because that headline will come off an entirely different way..

She wasn't having them deep ass thoughts at 15 fam, knock it off :francis:



She was just happy to be signed to a "star", and rightfully so :manny:
nikka that's exactly what that means what are you talking about thinking deep?


Wouldn't you think a star you look up to runs shyt??? It wouldn't be weird to find out they don't, at 15??? I must be a genius then because my brain was functioning well enough to notice shyt like that at 15, or y'all nikkas just slow development alumni

Anything longer that 3 sentences is "deep" to you nikkas man :dead:
