He kept using "them" when referring to Iggy's talent as if she was nothing more than a puppet. Do you ever hear people talking about the machine behind Beyoncé or others like that?

he meant the people behind building her brand. her management, her producers, the people that get her radio deals/promo slots/award noms, etc.

what do you mean? do you think these artists handle everything by themselves? they have a team full of people making sure everything runs smoothly. that's why he said they weren't prepared for iggy getting so big, they would've made sure to control her more, e.g. telling her what to say, keeping her away from twitter beefs, etc.

At least she left an impact somewhere, I guess

Ebro brought up a good point (or at least implied) that T.I. fought with Azealia Banks a lot himself (threatening to kill her, while Iggy just pointed out that she needs to evaluate herself, which sounds more constructive than anything T.I. had to say in response lol). He was hardly a good example to follow for other reasons too. He's hardly a Jay-Z.

I find it hard to believe that Iggy's disagreeing with Q-Tip did much to him. That sounds like a ****** excuse. He just didn't want to be associated with the industry pariah.

That's what Akon said But it's not true.

Akon departed from Gaga in early 2010

Gaga earned and sold the most records from 2010 onwards He never had much power over Gaga, he just helped her a bit and he got a lot of money for that.. Gaga had 2 managers from 2 different companies that worked their asses off and Gaga worked her ass off and that's how she became huge. Not Akon, that's why they departed in 2010, he had nothing to offer Gaga

On topic, that's a bit sad...
