The music industry is a tough biz, and, although there have been substantial changes in the past few years, it’s still a battle resembling The Hunger Games out there. However, Bebe Rexha seems to be tired of the constant struggle and threatens to tell everything she knows.
Rexha has been in the music industry for over a decade, and she has grown a substantial fanbase and won several awards. She started as a songwriter and wrote for huge artists like Eminem, Selena Gomez, and Nick Jonas, among others. She found success in collaborations with other famous names like David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, G-Eazy, Martin Garrix, and many other renowned names in the industry.
The singer spent a lot of time in the music industry, but, despite her best efforts, she is still frustrated at how everything goes in showbiz.
Bebe Rexha addresses being “undermined” in the music industry
On July 2, Rexha hopped on X to express her frustration with the industry. With a lengthy message, the singer shared that she has been “undermined,” and that she has a lot of information that she could reveal if things don’t change. Apart from the threat of damning revelations, she also alleged that she has “no budget” to promote her new music.
She also answered several questions from her fans, letting everyone know that “You haven’t even heard 5 percent. You have NO IDEA” about what happens behind the scenes. One fan noted, “nobody should be forgiven for the time they took your name out of Hey Mama,” but things seem more serious than that. Because Rexha wrote back, “My love. That? Compared to all the other stuff you don’t know about? That’s Child’s play.”
The tweet seems to reference the 2015 David Guetta song “Hey Mama,” which Bebe Rexha had co-written alongside several artists. After writing it, the singer thought she would get a credit, but she was not initially listed as a vocalist.
Other fans were quick to show their public support, asking her to reveal it all, and wondering what’s keeping her from telling everything. Her response was very real: “They punish you.” She also denied speculations that her recent comments deliberately arrived during the promotion of her latest single, “I’m the Drama,” noting that, “Marketing? I have no budget for that. IM FED UP.”
She continued, “This is not just coming from a place of anger. It’s sadness. I’m sitting in my hotel room in London Crying my eyes out. I’ve felt hopeless for the longest time. I’ve been walking a lot through this city and meeting fans and they have really ignited something inside of me.” She couldn’t help but praise the public support, noting, “Honestly you all have given me the strength.”
Following her public message, fans started showing their support. One even created a huge thread showing that Rexha has been “mistreated” in the industry, with the injustice going as far as her debut as a solo artist in 2013.
Just last month, Rexha slammed her “Me, Myself & I” collaborator G-Eazy, calling him an “ungrateful loser,” and noting that their song was his “only real hit.” Her team later convinced her to take the tweet down, which she later admitted she regretted. Given that the singer has not been shying away from dropping names publicly, fans aligned to support her in telling her story about the music industry and get what’s rightfully hers.
