I don't think the hate is that viral. I haven't seen it once on my TL. I only see people crying about the hate. People gotta learn that twitter is very echochamber and small bubbles. What's viral on one part of the app is never seen on the other side ever. Normani should be performing any and everywhere and building herself back up. Twitter is not a real place, all the artists twitter likes just flop endlessly. Normani needs to get tiktok on her side if anything. Edit: I found this 95k (!!!) liked tweet defending Normani's performance. Twitter is really different worlds haha. "I'll always defend this diva because she had everything for her career to take off, but she decided to pause her career just to take care of her parents with cancer, and the gays here on Twitter keep attacking the poor thing" Also, people acting like this is some random university and it's PRINCETON is CRAZYYY!!!! One of the top universities in the country being downplayed to insult Normani. The pay was good so she shouldn't even care. Top Uni's pay good for these lil gigs. 😭

A good piece of this is incorrect but I appreciate your enthusiasm. Labels typically aren't involved in booking stages for the artist. That's a function of management. Brandon was very hands on with the 2018-19 run and getting her the opening spot on Sweetener tour. I guess people don't know but Brandon is a nepo baby so he had industry connections via his dad lol. He knows tops industry players personally through that. He was a mess but does deserve his credit. Now for Lydia to impress me, just keep Normani booked to a gig every month from now on. No month should pass without a brand deal or performance. If chopped influencers, Love Island people, and 5 minute tiktok famous "artists" can get monthly things, Normani can too. So far Lydia has done good from last Fall to now (given Normani has no new music out yet she's always around doing stuff again).

The waves x one in a million mashup, YUP! She did this for me!!!

Did we all buy our collector boxes yet? B'day deserves nothing less since it is her best album.

Basically if you happen to come across one like a feed post or a tiktok live, and start interacting, you'll get a bunch more from that point on. The algorithm for it is aggressive.

I was about to say, he hasn't been relevant since Tumblr was relevant. How does he have money for trips when he doesn't even act in anything?

It's lowkey scary cause that feels like the only conclusion here. Something very dark will happen.

Truly! She set herself up. That was not the crowds' fault. If I was in the crowd, I'm not sounding like a banshee for no reason.

Honestly, good on her for waking up. Nicki Minaj brainwashed a generation of kids and those kids never matured fully. Like as crazy as Lady Gaga fans were at her peak, those people grew up and got real jobs and moved on (but still support her music in a more mature way, no shrines). Nicki stans are in a cult, any normal fan should have realized she's not mentally well and distanced from all of this behavior. We will see more barbz waking up as time goes on. You'll see this same type of thing happen with MAGA once Trump is out of office and becoming a figure of the past. Cults are hard to leave.

Laura ate…dog food? On CAMERA? I feel like that needs to be discussed further cause WHAT is even the context?

For men* Women get flagged for literally anything lmao. Men especially OF guys get away with A LOT and for months maybe years before they finally get banned. It's sexist AI moderation if you ask me

Mind you, he still does it. Like what are we even talking about here. I typically don't pop into Hasan threads or topics because he has rabid stans who defend anything evil he has and will ever do, so I'm not surprised by this deflection. If the roles of this thread were flipped, nobody would defend the congress person still, so that's enough evidence to me that bias is at play. Hasan is not a good person. Just because he supports M4A for freeing Palestine (for examples), doesn't give him a free pass to be an awful person. And let's be clear, the congress person should not be spending their time fighting Hasan or lying about his record or statements. Waste of tax dollars.

This feels like a backwards step for her. She should have done another fun crossover type song like Coconut Water.

People defend Hasan as though he hasn't said some of the most vile sht for fun and subs related and unrelated to politics. This random congress person is non factor in the grand scheme meanwhile Hasan has a larger platform than any individual member of congress, in either party, bar like AOC or Bernie (who are literally aligned with him regularly). The overreactions in this thread are silly asf. Hasan is not a victim and attacks actual victims and people (!!!) regularly for content (unrelated to politics mind you). When he was WRONLGY attacking that black girl on tiktok nobody gaf and supported her.

Gaga is paving the way for gays to be billionaires and own crypto. Go gaga, yes mama, slay the house boots hunnie chile down.

This is a new era for Katseye. The 3 strongest have remained. Three independent women.

She clocked it. Idk why the fans mad. Jordan actually knew Miley, you guys just follow her on IG. Jordan is a reliable source and is brave for speaking out. Women's stories matter.

The first new r&b singer to under sing on the recordings and serve SZA, then on their performances pop off with the vocals and technique is going to be the biggest modern breakout. People are adhd brain now but the 90s mainstream r&b artist style of not overdoing it on the track then giving iconic live arrangements would fit this era so well!

Mind you I was gatekeeping Rochelle Jordan. This is too much buzz for my queen on a legendary Mariah Carey deep cut.

And now it's sold out. Normani's (and other new added artists') IMPACT!

When Taylor Swift whacks Olivia (again), I don't want to hear any "granny hating on new artists" narratives. It's mutual beef.

The hate for Law Roach is so funny cause y'all continue to make him a bigger figure with the hate. People wouldn't even know him if he was just ignored for being a chop. Reality is, Law and Zendaya are an unstoppable duo and Law has some great looks with other A-listers in the industry outside the Zendaya of it all. Method dressing shouldn't be frowned on when fashion is supposed to be fun. We lost the plot.

M4A is a popular policy when presented with no other info but once nuance is added such as regular household taxes may have to increase for M4A to function, support drops. It's not surprising it's considered radical policy when the US is very conservative the last couple years and anti-tax increases on the middle class. AP NewsPoll: Support for 'Medicare-for-all' fluctuates with detailsWASHINGTON (AP) — Americans like the idea of "Medicare-for-all," but support flips to disapproval if it would result in higher taxes or longer waits for care.

Yup, especially the bold. People used to say this in the 2010s about music but I feel it applies WAY MORE NOW. I never used to completely tap out of mainstream music but now I have a roster of unknown songs and niche artists. I feel so alternative and edgy.

Also Normani may still be in the Sony family (at least internationally) since this post got clearer by their social media manager:
