I never read the @TheSun but your racism about Harry and Meghan is sickening. Reading an article that uses words such as “exotic” and the constant presumption he is being bewitched. The hypothesis of an unhappy marriage. This racism is absurd!

I think that’s the point. The question is what is “us?” - There are so many versions of blackness that need to be explored. This monolith idea of blackness is a pre conceived notion. I sold a million records in the USA and my shows were filled with many versions of blackness …

I know this is stupid but I am crying at the feedback we are getting from my new album. You don’t understand how hard it has been to navigate through depression, motherhood and indie life to get here. I don’t care if this album only streams one play. The fact I made it is enough.

It’s an old fashion term to suggest a certain type of music is for black and a certain music is not. Music should be fluid and free. I’m not saying to entirely eliminate culture pillars but I’m saying let’s not ring fence it with assumptions of who we are.

Did you know that after the streaming services have taken a cut, and taxes are paid, the label takes 73% of the remaining payout, disributing 16% to the writers and publishers, and a mere 11% to the artist. This needs to change.
