Do y'all conspiracy brehs take into account that the photographer and or editor decide which poses to do and photos to run out of hundreds of images, celebrities don't pick them.
It's not the celebrity, it's the label, manager, or corporation, who has the power
All it is, is certain people in power believe doing certain things will help them gain, and keep, power. You have regular black, and Latin, people who do the same thing with voodoo or Santeria or whatever else is out here. Even southeast Asians have their spirituality to get power. It's the squares who are shocked by all of this
When it comes to artists, they are just the vessel to get things done. All they care about is being rich, and famous, but they are creative types who love "feeling". This means loving sex, getting high, and creating something. They don't realize what they're getting into at such young ages UNLESS they came from the church which helps save a lot of them because it gives them an idea of why things are going wrong for them, and they usually get themselves together before getting old. You see this when you compare old r&b artists who got lost on drug crazes vs white stars who had nothing but the world as their reference
Not saying religion is good, but it makes you aware that life is more then the here, and now. Remember, just because you don't believe in evil or the devil, someone else does, and will do things to hurt you for their gain. By being aware you protect yourself, no need to believe it
