It’s difficult to come up with any modern female stars who never attempted to sell s***at some point in their careers

Maybe just Taylor? Adele? Even Adele is getting close to it

billie has multiple songs on her album about s***lol

olivia rodrigo is like 17 too it’s kinda weird bringing her up in comparison to women in their 20’s

This

that's the way to go

you'll get much more success by singing s*** that's relatable to most young women like those artists than nonstop boss b****/sex anthems

Ya she’s incredibly talented & also gorgeous too. Brings to mind, like, Nia Long’s fine self and women from the same era. On some Halle Berry s***.

Lauren Hill and Missy Elliott too

Pop culture in general only celebrates blackness on a mainstream level when it’s as adult as possible. It’s why there aren’t many light skin male actors who are megastars - darkness is correlated with being manly and light skin with femininity

You wouldn’t see artists like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Camilla Cabello, etc doing stuff like this

billie eilish: literal day she turned 18 they had posing like this in lingerie for vogue magazines. one of her biggest hits even while she was underage was legit about having s***with old men

olivia rodrigo: instagram.com/p/CTzz7WrrTFh
she wasnt 18 until recently so not fair to judge her, not as egregious but they already have her transitioning to wearing more revealing stuff almost immediatedly, which is clear from a glance at her IG

camilla cabello: not super familiar, you might be right about her, but she isnt super popular anymore beyond that Havana being a hit so idk if its a valid comparison

taylor swift: that's because she blew up off of country and not off of pop. as she blew up off of pop she slowly got more sexualized.
example:

other white pop stars:
-katy perry filmed mvs of her mostly naked and was touring wearing what was virtually a corset and nothing else early on
-britney spear's literal entire career, including being hyper-sexualized while she was underaged
-ariana grande's entire post-disney career is basically about being a s***icon, thank u next, sweetener, and dangerosu women are literally all about being promiscuous and her entire image is blackface and stereotypes of sexuality
-madonna literally popularized the entire idea of pop stars just being hyper-sexual and pushing the bar
-other examples of clearly sexualized (even if its of their own accord) pop stars are like charli xcx and dua lipa

yes you have old pop stars like idk celine dion or cyndi lauper but for each of those you also have older black pop star equivalents

people hate to hear this but this is literally just how most women are treated in the industry. its not a race thing, its just more common because hip hop is an already over-sexualized genre to begin with, and most black women in pop come from a hip hop/r&b background musically which means they have those roots (i.e. doja cat - she was sexualizing herself BEFORE she even blew up, look at the Amala cover for example, or even the Moo video). you can argue certain forms of sexualization black women face are more egregious than what white pop stars do, but i don't know how true that is historically when you look at white pop stars like britney spears. the pop industry and wider mainstream media industry just sexualize the s*** out of women, this has been thing and will continue to be

Yeah I could a named tons of women but I was thinking op was just speaking for recent times

It seems like that because that’s all u lookin at u h**** b******

BW not named Beyonce or Rihanna in general aren't dominating the music industry.

There's tons of Black female artists that aren't hyper sexual. Janelle Monae and Noname come to mind.

But the female buying market(which is mostly White) identifies with White/Non-Black female artists over the Black ones on average which stunts the career growth of many talented BW artists.

And the ones who are more hyper sexual are given bigger platforms and are deemed more marketable to a wider market. It is what it is.

There’s this one black UK female rapper who never sexualized herself & got a huge following. She had a couple of freestyles that blew up I think.

“Nowadays”

Didnt billie do a titty unboxing when she turned 18 at a show? Like she made it a big deal

TITTY UNBOXING

A lot of music is about love and I think it’s just that modern youth culture there’s a vacancy of love and flagrant s***and escapades have become the locum

Titty unboxing

Yeooo

She did a WHAT?! LMFAO

Nah lock the thread

ctfu

Oh these right here? These the vanilla cone double d 9000s baby. Real exclusive s***.
