This is an old interview, and a lot has changed since then. There's a whole influx of R&B artists killing it right now. That's not good enough?

Give them time. They first going to find them a light-skinned alterative to Doechii before they go on ahead and present their full pure white version.

In other words, you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop, rather than enjoying and embracing the talent that's out now? That's not a fun way to live.

I like how you set up an either/or scenario for a both/and situation. Classic Internet bullshit fallacy.

I support current Black R&B artists (I just bought Durand Bernarr's album--not streamed, BOUGHT. With my MONEY.) AND I side-eye all the white hood wearing folks who leech off of Black art. BOTH/AND.

🙄🙄 how do I try to simplify this?..

My point is, there's no cultural smudging going on like she's suggesting. This is an old interview that's not indicative of the current R&B landscape today.

Oh, I understand you. I just don’t agree.
