You’re asking the Devil to have mercy.

even the devil was once an empathic human

99.99% of musicians spend most of their lives starving and fighting just to survive who would be happy just to hear a clap, who wouldn’t be ungrateful to live like a princess in a candy coated castle.

[@shit_wizard]

huh

[@beebeescreebee]

I've seen her pile out of compact cars for years; up to 20 of them one time under the big top.

[@leroypowell7455]

Seriously? This chick has a net worth of around 6 million and she's bitching about "affordable wages and health care" for music artists? She makes more in one concert than most of us make all year. Pay for your own shit.

[@angelosolitude]

Did you even watch the video she was literally speaking on behalf of developing artists who are being taken advantage of, your basic comprehension cannot be this bad💀

[@neverloseyourvoice]

She wasn't always, she came up from nothing making videos in her bedroom. The labels only care when they get as big as she is. She is speaking on behalf of artists who aren't big, artists who lables take advantage of

[@jazzwonk222]

Great speech! And very timely.......the music industry, like the entire entertainment industry, needs to take care of EVERYONE, not just who they think will make them big money.....

[@toyman81]

how about me, living on a fixed income,

[@Lola24691]

She’s iconic

[@walkingtheline1729]

I get livable wage but isnt being an artist on a label similar to being a shop in a mall. She is a small luxury business getting loans and help from a bigger one. Its her job to inform and help herself.

[@neuroticnation144]

How about for all of us??? We deserve universal healthcare! And livable wages!

[@tinashe9616]

She's an Artist speaking for Artist,Nothing wrong with that. A Teacher speaking for Teachers, Same Same.

​@@tinashe9616delusional fan. Someone speaks up about common people and you cry for the millionaires again. Hahahah

[@wendyj.6922]

1 thing at a time but you're not wrong. It's her moment. Glad she had the guts to speak up. I was glad to see this on behalf of artists everywhere.

[@eliminator173]

You gotta earn those things you freeloaders. Entitlement is strong with yall.

[@kristinaj9159]

@@eliminator173You should realize your mindset and just how wrong you are. Entitlement is like saying we all are individually owed billions of dollars (some would argue that). But demanding that we all get healthcare - is far from entitlement. It’s the bare minimum. 22 yr old Cole Schmidtknecht died from a severe asthma attack the other day. All because his $66 inhaler skyrocketed to $500. Insurance refused to cover it. That’s one of millions. Realize that, understand it. Empathy is part of being human

[@ronicasmith3956]

It is nice that she said that but it ain’t changing unfortunately

[@toyman81]

what is she wearing,

[@generalwizdom2355]

Act like you got a 9-5 like the rest of us. 😂 what a joke. Tone deaf and just naive. How much was spent just on that hair, makeup, and outfit?

[@ammccormickam]

Get a grip...it's a risk you take by pursuing that path...if end up being one of the lucky ones---millionaire

Everyone should have health care but why does she dress like she’s in a circus? She’s got a great voice but lose the wardrobe.

Well, then we couldn't use the term "struggling artists" anymore. Grow up weirdos...

[@nixey738]

How about encourage kids to be doctors, scientist and engineers. We always need those. Advocating for artist is the way of poverty

[@ethanalexander875]

That’s not her responsibility. She’s an artist so she advocates for the artist.

[@lucasr621]

Yet here you are, sitting on your *ss watching artists on Access Hollywood… if you don’t believe in encouraging artists to develop and therefore exist, don’t watch them. Even the most base media entertainment comes from artists. Try living your life for a full week without taking in any art at all. No clothing other than, idk.. scrubs, no decorative plates or mugs that you sip coffee out of, no music, no tv, no books (maybe a math or science one without photography) art is everywhere. There are many ways for someone to use their art for the betterment of society.

[@solomonsurmounter]

Hes spot on ​@@lucasr621

[@solomonsurmounter]

​@lucasr621 I'm an artist, and I cam tell you for sure art is not a necessity to life. Doctors, engineers, and stuff are way more important for society. That's a fact, like it or not.
