She buried herself.

She lost mad weight and missed her male fanbase with that move and the females couldn't look past all her fecal matter raps and songs.

You are supposed to be alluring not on the toilet the whole damn time :bryan:

She has like 11 million followers and her opp Latto (who is more manufactured to me is at 14mill) they just have garbage music that's not hitting but the investments have already been made. So we are going to keep seeing their brand until somebody recouped or starts getting paid. Music needs to get back to being a business not an Industry. Industry do systematic duplication's but this is Art and should be respected as such but Money, Money, Money.

They are not even banking like that too, the streamers are eating all this extra leisure paper guys are spending.

I appreciate that the term "manufactured fame" was used because that's exactly what it is.

Problem is, the people buy into it, even though they're starting to understand the game. The labels don’t care because they already have the backups in the stash, ready to replace the plants that don’t work anymore. It's a revolving door with that now.

It's like Cube said, 'They'll have a new n*gga next year".

fame has been arbitrarily imposed on us... there has always been a clear and apparent divide between what will get commercial platforming and funding and what wont

This social fixation on entertainment is not organic even if there isn't room for such discussions in popular discourse. Hell, the lasting legacy of the states' response to the so called civil rights movement was to assign black people their leadership and aspirational figures by way of sports and entertainment. Their declassified words not mine.

to assign the concept of "manufacturered fame" to figures this late in the game is some nearsighted anti intellectual nonsense
