She has stans though. Same chicks who were going crazy over the SoundCloud tapes are going crazy over the album. The problem is it’s just them. Winning awards is supposed to bring in new - specifically older or/and whiter - fans. Nobody cared in her case.I think it’s her being younger than them has something to do with it too
But to sell records you need stans
I measure stans/popularity by how delusional they sound. For instance a lot of stans make their community sound like it’s some niche thing only a few prestigious people understand or are apart of. Kendrick stans will act like he didn’t go triple plat and only they listen to this “real” rapper. Nicki fans make themselves out to be some embattled resistance, fighting the slander hurled at poor Nicki. In HER’s case if you check twitter, her stans sound…pretty damn reasonable. Because unlike most artists she is actually an underdog and they’re kinda the exclusive group who only “understands” her lol. Normally stans want to make themselves sound unique when they really aren’t. In her case, they are.
