Coi Leray Claims Old Label Pressured Her To Make Pop Music: 'They Wanted Taylor Swift'

[Playaz Eyez]

Her label was just desperately trying to find her a lane because she's losing them massive amounts of money.


If you go back to when she first got on she's tried every style and can't sell records or resonate enough to have a real, loyal fan base.

It seems like she came out the gate being a mashup of a female Trippie Redd/Young Thug, looking like a light skinned Young Thug, then she got her teeth done and became a semi-singing Skin Diamond.

A label is a business trying to keep the lights on no different than a flower shop. Why wouldn’t they try to replicate proven commodities?

Because labels are full of shyt, there's no way they signed her and thought you seem more like a Taylor Swift or Ariana type. Even if they did feel that way Taylor and Ariana have natural great singing voices, Coi Leray does not. This was piss poor management at its finest.

On top of that during award time she'd only be labeled as rap or r&b simply because she's black.

Lemon Cars is her best project she need to go down that lane from now on and perfect it.

It's wild that even in this day and age, labels are still pressuring artists to be "more like" other people.

They still haven't learned that that doesn't usually end well.

Record labels are their own worst enemies.

Not really, when you realize their business model.

Kinda works like this, if you're a nikka with a million talents and intelligent and good with money, you are a headache for a lable 'cause you're gonna want to negotiate every step of the way and very shortly you'll realize that there's better ways to make money other than music.

If you're a nikka with some marketable talents, average intelligence and bad with money, they get to string you along while sucking you dry. Stringing you along means that they will "parent" you, here meaning teaching/telling you what to say or do!

Those the two choices they got, exploiting person 2 or getting used and dumped in a short period by person 1.

A fairer business model is possible, but it would require they get a bunch of people exactly like person 1, every 1-2 years, for it to work. Now THAT is work.
