she’s not only successful bc of it, but her trajectory and it’s momentum

she worked hard and her + team capitalized off it

right place right time thing

where does coi leray fit into this narrative

Colorism is real but I feel like it’s being used by these women to tear down another woman. There are plenty of darks in women that rap and are succeeding, maybe they all aren’t “hot” like Ice Spice but they aren’t failing either.

If being lightskin was the ONLY factor Coi Leray and Tinashe would be huge.

Are they capitalizing off her complexion or just her s***appeal. If she was darker and still had the same exact body type and appeal and still made the same music would she or atleast her team still attempt to use that to her advantage?

gah damn why are people so dumb

people can’t comprehend colorism can play a factor but also be one of a multitude of reasons why an artist is successful

It has to be black and white one or the other

so aggravating please think

Clearly not if her song with Nicki was bigger than the other lightskin and the latina

there’s been about like 3-4 dudes itt distilling all of popular woman artists’ success to their s***appeal

some of these niggas need to get banned man

thing is ice spice is literally aware of what she represents and who her music is for… she a natural at what she does and many people just fail to realize that’s why she a star

yeah some of these niggas had to get their test read to them in school

Literally?

Idk about colorism but I know those running girls make unbearable theater kid rap music

literally.

there’s an exoticism factor to her, mainstream media lacks afro latina representation

right time and right place, i’m sure if it was the exact same but she was darker it would have the same peak, i just don’t know if she reaches that as quickly IMO

Cry me a f***ing river

I just don't think it's a big part in wether an artist is successful or not... I could name so many darker skinned artists who are not hindered by their skin color and so many light skinned artists who don't benefit from their skin color

like...🙄

cap

Ice Spice is only famous because of s***appeal. Nothing to do with how lighter her skin is

If that was the case then Rubi Rose would be a platinum selling rapper right now

literally!
