norma jean the music video world needs u very badly

If this were true , mention any artist that can sing Rihanna’s biggest hits and make it a hit like she did ? It wasn’t just the singing , but the theme, emotion and artistic direction behind it, something that no one has been able to capture till date.

@Starfish1720181 @kissdapositions No it wasn’t , there is an interview of a top record executive saying that it was Rihanna’s idea to go dark and the label was very against it so she went behind their back and did it anyway , once they saw how well it was received they let her continue . So lie again

@kissdapositions It was the label that decided all that Rihanna a product not an artist

Her artistic direction is tremendously underrated, people forget she went from the cute carribean island girl to Rated R in 3 years

@japan_nobunaga Something that has been happening in many African schools for a long time

In Japan, children clean their own schools. Every day. After lunch. About twenty minutes. Classrooms. Hallways. Toilets. Not because the schools are too poor to hire someone. Because in 1947, this country decided that cleaning your own space is part of becoming a person. The cleaning rag is on the school supply list. Right next to the pencils. Egypt teaches it now. So does Indonesia. So does Mongolia. Think about the last time you watched a seven-year-old mop a floor without complaining. Japan does that in every elementary school in the country. Not as punishment. As education.

@iiwasinthee212 Listen to show dem camp ft tems - tales by moonlight , you will change your mind

For the record.... afrobeats is boring and derivative. Gqom and ampiano are better than that knock off dance hall shit the afrobeats stuff is. Afrobeats is so corporate and corny

@NqobileT_ @Zee_weh_ I deleted because all of you are hell bent on misunderstanding me, you guys will never understand me so what’s the point , Spotify , touring , are all forms of support which are less in Africa than the rest of the world and that’s a fact you can google.

@selacee @Zee_weh_ My sister, you specifically mentioned Spotify, not touring. Stand your ground even when you delete your comments.

Let’s be real… Only the white Gen Z girls are thriving and top charting in the pop category. The only woman of colour who is TRYING to compete with them is Tyla and you guys are giving her a hard time and trying to use every excuse to cancel her. We are honestly our worst enemy

@pankbluepink How is it a cop out ? The west and Asia have the highest purchasing power globally, and the west and Asians are also the most anti black, so therefore it’s them who controls who thrives and who flops not the black community.

This is such a cop-out and also quite a strange thing to say about a diverse continent of 52 countries that don't all speak the same language.

@donatellabrat @Zee_weh_ How is it ignorant when it’s the truth , Africa does not have the same purchasing power to buy merch , concert tickets and albums the way the west and Asia does , Taylor swift is the biggest artist in the world because she has a wealthy yt fan base.

@selacee @Zee_weh_ omg this reply is so ignorant like i don't even know where to begin

@savingursoul @Zee_weh_ This doesn’t take away from the fact that most of Africa is poor by design and so therefore their purchasing power is weaker than take of Asia, Europe and America , Taylor swift is the biggest artist in the world because her fans are rich yt people.

@selacee @Zee_weh_ HUH ARE YOU ACTUALLY DUMB

@NqobileT_ @Zee_weh_ No , all of you are misunderstanding me, African artists normally don’t tour in Africa because they can make more money abroad , the yt and Asian community have a higher purchasing power to support their artists and that’s a fact.

@selacee @Zee_weh_ Awu kahle why are you making it sound like we're dirt poor here??? Tyla is supported

@FGuy888 @Zee_weh_ Yeah that’s true , Jae Stephen’s is awesome fr , but black support is not enough and to become big you need the yt audience unfortunately, until Africa and the black diaspora rises up , this is how things will be, it’s not tylas fault , it’s the wider system.

@selacee @Zee_weh_ We need to change that by supporting ALL black artists instead of fighting each other. Normani, Coco Jones, Victoria Monet & so many more deserve so much better! I’ve got into Jae Stephens recently & she is also amazing! I just hate seeing the lies & ugliness directed at Tyla 😣

@FGuy888 @Zee_weh_ She has a huge Asian fan base , if her support was mainly black people she would have the same numbers as the other mono racial black girls because the money is not there.

@selacee @Zee_weh_ Tyla’s audience is majority black and POC though… 🧐🤨

@ranneadams @Zee_weh_ Like I said . The black community globally doesn’t have as much money to support, so it’s not about that , the world is rigged against black people in every field and if you can’t understand that then I don’t know what to tell you.

@selacee @Zee_weh_ Stop the excuses. If you claim you like those artists and not tyla, stream their music and buy their shit

@FGuy888 @Zee_weh_ Tyla is not the issue , it’s the system, she’s not the only one , Olivia dean , ray , pink panthers and the rest are the only black representation we have and you guys see no issue , black support is not the issue, it’s by design.

@selacee @Zee_weh_ What? Why not support Coco Jones, Victoria Monet & Normani!????? They are incredible artists!!!! Yet people spend all their time hating on Tyla? Wtf. How does that make sense?
