Taking to social media in a series of Tuesday (7.02) posts she shared on X/Twitter, Bebe Rexha claimed she could “bring down a big chunk” of the music industry, suggesting that things go on behind the scenes that she could expose.
Born Bleta Rexha, the now 34-year old superstar singer/songwriter wrote:
“I could bring down a BIG chunk of this industry. I AM frustrated. I Have been UNDERMINED.” “I’ve been so quiet for the longest time.” “I haven’t seen the signs even though people constantly are bringing them up and they have been SO OBVIOUS.” “And when I have spoken up I’ve been silence and PUNISHED by this industry Things must change or I’m telling ALL of my truths (sic). The good the bad and the ugly.”
Responding to Rexha’s claims, one fan pointed out that Bebe was not originally credited as a featured artist on David Guetta’s 2015 track ‘Hey Mama,’ despite co-writing the song and recording the chorus and backing vocals.
“Nobody should be forgiven for the time they took your name out of Hey Mama,” the fan wrote, to which the singer replied, “My love. That? Compared to all the other stuff you don’t know about? That’s Child’s play.”
The chanteuse was accused of sharing the post in an attempt to promote her new song ‘I’m The Drama,’ which was released on Sunday (6.30,) with the X user commenting, “Doing this during promoting a new single I’m The Drama is perfect timing – marketing or not!” to which Bebe replied, “Marketing? I have no budget for that. IM FED UP.”
Bebe Rexha soon returned to X to admit that she “felt hopeless,” adding “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.”
