Speak On It, Bebe

Bebe Rexha has been making pop music since 2008. That’s nearly two decades of what I can only imagine to be a lot of trauma—especially working with G-Eazy. Sadly, a breaking point is inevitable and if her latest tweets are any indication, it looks like Rexha’s nearing hers. On Tuesday, the singer-songwriter behind some of your favorite pop records signed onto Twitter and let it rip.
“I could bring down a BIG chunk of this industry. I AM frustrated. I Have been UNDERMINED,” Rexha ranted. “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.”
Sadly, Rexha didn’t name names, nor did she elaborate on any one specific instance of injustice. But she’s been pretty vocal in recent years. In 2015, after she wasn’t credited for her vocals on the chorus of the David Guetta and Nicki Minaj smash, “Hey Mama,” she told Billboard: “What ended up happening was that it looked like a lot of names on the title, so they wanted to keep as many low features as possible. That’s what I was told, and it makes sense to me. I guess more than two [featured] names don’t look good on the radio.” More recently, Rexha called out her former collaborator, G-Eazy, after his team asked her to shoot social content with him—presumably, for clout. From the sounds of her response to the ask, their working relationship seems to have soured since their single, “Me, Myself, And I.”
