AceShowbiz - Bebe Rexha has lashed out at the music industry in a series of fiery posts on X, alleging that she has been "undermined" and "punished" for speaking up. "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," Rexha wrote.
Fans inquired about the specifics, and Rexha alluded to an incident involving her lack of initial credit for her contributions to the 2015 hit "Hey Mama". However, she stated that this was "child's play" compared to other undisclosed issues.
Rexha clarified that her posts did not stem from anger but rather from sadness and a sense of hopelessness. She expressed gratitude to her fans for igniting something within her.
"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," Rexha wrote.
Some suggested that Rexha's timing was related to the release of her new single, "I'm the Drama". However, she denied this, stating, "Marketing? I have no budget for that. IM FED UP."
Rexha's outburst comes after she recently criticized rapper G-Eazy on social media, a message she later removed. However, she clarified that she still stands by her claims.
Rexha, known for hits like "Me, Myself and I", has also spoken out against body-shaming in the entertainment industry. In April 2023, she addressed a TikTok search term referencing her weight gain, stating, "I did gain weight. But it just sucks."
