What I found suspicious was the comments sections on her videos all being virtually dissent-free lovefests. But I just looked at some Iggy Azalea and Bhad Bhabie YouTube comment sections and they were the same way, so maybe that's just how it is sometimes. Or maybe the conspiracy goes deeper than I thought...

i first heard of this rebrand when reading a widely-rt'd twitter thread sharing video clips of 'female rappers you should know about' or something. the tweet with her said something along the lines of "yeah it's the girl from karmin but i swear she deserves another look"

yeah i mean i came across it by accident months ago and laughed so hard i fell off the couch when i realized who it was
that's me though, i'm old
the fact that there does seem to be a fan base for this stuff is fascinating, though.
streaming playlists and radio formats seem pretty inhospitable to female vocalists in general right now but especially to female brands, artists still trying to do the 2008-2015 gaga/katy/kesha thing by releasing music that exalts artifice and is self-referential and reliant on a larger-than-life persona to make an impact
maybe there's a lane for herby/bhabie/iggy to succeed as niche projects catering directly to fans of trashy, culturally insensitive pop projects fronted by white women from that era who refuse to follow the mainstream and move on to listening to post malone and ed sherman
or maybe it's just a hangover, artists and an audience that are completely in denial about which way the wind is blowing that will all scatter like ashes on the breeze once they fully process the reality of how little money remains to be made from music like this
who knows

One of the youtube comments today on a "Teens React to..." video at FBE was "React to Qveen Herby!"
So I replied "Dumb blackface bullshit, how's that for a reaction?"
Angry response pending.
