After Defending Her Weight, Pop Star Bebe Rexha Says She Could ‘Bring Down’ Music Industry
Singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha expressed deep frustration with the music industry in a series of social media posts, hinting at potential revelations about her experiences in the business.
Rexha, 34, known for hits like “I’m Good (Blue)” and “I’m a Mess,” took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share her grievances. “I could bring down a BIG chunk of this industry,” she wrote, adding that she has been “UNDERMINED” and kept quiet for a long time.
The Grammy-nominated artist suggested she might disclose more information about her experiences, stating, “Things must change or I’m telling ALL of my truths. The good the bad and the ugly.”
After the first post, fans began inquiring about the details, with one fan asking her “what happened again.”
“Again? You haven’t even heard 5 percent. You have NO IDEA,” Rexha replied.
Another fan commented that “nobody should be forgiven for the time they took your name out of ‘Hey Mama,'” referencing Rexha’s hit 2015 collaboration with David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Afrojack, for which she wasn’t initially credited.
Rexha responded: “My love. That? Compared to all the other stuff you don’t know about? That’s Child’s play.”
When a follower pointed out that her posts coincided with the release of her new single “I’m the Drama,” Rexha dismissed the notion of it being a marketing ploy. “Marketing? I have no budget for that. I’M FED UP,” she responded.
In a follow-up post, Rexha revealed the emotional toll of her career struggles. “I’m sitting in my hotel room in London Crying my eyes out. I’ve felt hopeless for the longest time,” she shared. The singer added that recent interactions with fans had “ignited something inside of me.”
This outburst follows a separate incident where Rexha called out rapper G-Eazy on social media, a post she later deleted. Addressing the deletion, she explained, “Someone from my team had me take down my Instagram story. I decided to remove it because it felt very negative and toxic.”
The singer has previously been open about her struggles in the music business, including body image issues and ageism.
