How many Taylor swift or Adele fans have songs from beyonce and rihanna that they liked but didn't pay for because they aren't worth it to them. They drop the coins for the white folks they feel more connected to but pirate black folks that they enjoy.
Also Mariah is white passing,blond hair and all.
Funny how there was more diversity in the past than now.

Beyonce and Rihanna make
completely different music from Adele and Taylor. Your argument makes no sense, not to mention both women are highly successful and popular (including with white people), moreso than a lot of white artists. Beyonce basically blew away every pop girl that year with STed. You don't do that if white people refuse to buy your album and stream everything because you're black. Post some actual receipts.
There is rampant racism in this industry but a good 90% of it is committed BY those in power in the industry. And you need to post some actual, proven statistics before claming otherwise. Your word proves nothing. At all.

Repo you've lost your damn mind saying nepotism is more important than race....delusional.....Janet didn't just come oh of nowhere. .she too had started out very young like her brothers.

In an industry about CELEBRITY? Centered around
CONNECTIONS? Yes, nepotism trumps race every time. The advantages Janet had from being related to the most successful pop star of all time most certainly makes her more privileged than, say, Kesha. Who was lower class with no connections.
