All this "Rihanna had to push her album back" talk when BROKEN SPEARIT did the same after GIGLI GIRLS spent only ONE WEEK on UWC and made Janet Jackson look like a global superstar.
Me and my boyfriend influenced each other so much in music but we always had very similar tastes, he's literally a white rich guy who leans more into alternative music but loves R&B and bops to local artists like Brandy and Janet I taught him that liking some trash pop music bops isn't shameful tho he now even likes Ariana (i know it's bad but step by step he'll get there)
And, at the end of the day, this is the point. And that is not a defense. That is a drag.
How is this a drag? You expect a recording artist to be attending music awards and being nominated for them without releasing music first? Does whatsherface in your avatar get nominated for acting when she is on breaks and doesn't act?
