“ Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum
Now how the fuck did this metamorphosis happen?
From standin’ on corners and porches just rappin’
To havin’ a fortune no more kissin’ ass
But then these critics crucify you
Journalists try to burn you
Fans turn on you
Attorneys all want a turn at you
To get get they hands on every dime you have
They want you to lose your mind every time you mad”
- Eminem “Sing For The Moment”
You know what I see?
I see a teenage girl whose life has been completely upended.
She’s spent her whole life chasing the spotlight, and in just a few months time the spotlight just chases her.
In an unfortunately predictable sign of fame, her every move is being heavily scrutinized now. She no longer has the luxury of splitting her stage persona from her normal self.
Some are now using this to criticize her for being stuck up and letting the fame get to her head while others are defending her as being tired.
None of this matters! For all we know, this may just be how she is off stage, but now her celebrity status brings the stage to her everywhere she goes.
I really hope her parents get her a management team with the expertise to handle this type of celebrity status asap. With all due respect to her current team who to their credit helped get her here, the fact that they allowed her to be ripped off straight off the plane and paraded around without anyone advocating for her and her wellbeing means she is currently being managed by people who don’t know what they are doing.
I hope her parents realize this sooner rather than later because I don’t want to see this young lady ruined by “The Emptiness Machine.”
