Why is beefing so common among our (black) celebrities?

[get these nets]

Real question

It's not common.

Rappers feud/battle each other cause it's part of the culture of hip hop, but other than that, celebs of other music genres and other art forms and fields do NOT really publicly beef.

Easier to get angry at your fellow brethren, than to put pride aside and make money off GP. A tale as long as told. Word to Nat Turner and Malcolm X.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

You’ll notice the main people who want to get up somewhere and talk about unity are the first ones that will disrupt it

 

[Solo_87]

It's human nature

They are in a perpetual competition for awards, the best roles, big endorsements, producers, writers etc

Just for blk entertainers resources are even more scarce

u just pay attention to the black beef more. white celebrities have beef too. you just probably ain’t into white entertainment so you don’t see it

plenty of non black celebrities beef too

they’re just likely not people you’re interested in enough to be aware they’re beefing

Who? Us not seeing it is actually the point. Black conflict breaks through in the mainstream (you think it was just black folk making that Katt interview go diamond?). So it would only make sense that white conflict would do the reverse. This aint to say white folk dont have beef. But we dont see it pushed in the same way and I think there is (generally speaking of course) a different mindset.

Black folk are made to believe we gotta compete with each other to get ahead. That breeds hypersensitivity and quick triggers and jealousy that dont just go away once they make it. White folks know there is plenty of room for them so they dont view their peers as threats in the same way.

It's the easiest way to get views and attention.

This.

Real question

lol you realize that white people do this too, especially the old school country acts. But the simple answer is marketing.

Rock stars beef publicly all the time.

With Black celebrities in rappers and reality show stars. You don’t see guys John Boyega beefing with Tyler James Williams.

 

[Fresh]

this might come across controversial, but I'm going to keep it real

Black people don't get along with other Black people in general, so it's not going to magically change for Black celebrities

[King Jove]

You have had Rock bands where the members beefed with each other.

Didn't know Rock was still popular enough to get coverage. In the past 4 years, which acts have publicly beefed?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Crab in barrel mentality imo

Especially when they won’t openly beef with “others”

Elon musk vs Mark Zuckerberg are like the two richest people in america and they are talking about a boxing match.

turn on any white people entertainment news tv station and I promise u will hear about white celebrity beefs.
