I hear you. Though the school she went to is the same one Leona Lewis went to and she was living bang in the hood. But I hear you. She epitomises the worst and is praised. AJ talks about uplift the community is seen as racist by cacs.
It's like you have to be apolitical to be breh and make money. Or super talented as a brehette to make it big in the UK. But you can be half decent and white and sell millions.
possibly i know Adele, Amy Winehouse, Jessie J, Kate Nash and etc went there.
she moved from brighton to north london with her rich mom when she was already a mature teen.
shes not caught up in the patois talk naturally, she might sing nicki minaj with james corden in a car for clout but shes all things white.
bro the second part i am feeling they are going out there way to sign unattractive brothers and sisters so they can put the posters and billboards up and show people at glances we are less and etc. i am not a fan of noel clarke bullet boy, top boy, etc rubbish because i see the bordered up tape over blood spill too often here. its cool for whites to appropriate that but we are the ones living by the turmoil and the first they harass in these situations.
anyway i think we are on a similar page but you have more of an understanding and fondness for her and my "negativity" stems from there being a constant barrage of negative uk black images but all these white "stars" who even make lack luster music from time to time get covered in glory. i try telling my little cousins those white kids speaking the patois man dem talk are not your buddies and they will drop all that "hood attraction" as soon as they approach 30 like a jacket. while we are constantly left with shyt like this.
i'm a social history scholar and a grown man so i cant stomach these things so much, especially when you know why it perpetuates still in the 2020.
