Charli XCX: I was not "given enough credit" for 'I Love It'

Paper Planes

From her new Rolling Stone interview:

 

She would watch as Icona Pop, made up of two Swedish-model types, rode the track into an international hit: The song went double platinum in the U.S., reached Number Three on the Hot 100 and accompanied a memorable coke binge on the HBO show Girls. Charli says that she and co-writer Patrik Berger "were made to feel like ****, and not given enough credit for what we did." But "I Love It" earned her enough money to buy a new pad she's decorating like "a ****o palace," and, more important, it gave her creative freedom. "The 'I Love It' thing definitely made my record label sit back and listen," she says. "But I felt really pissed off about the music industry because I just kept on getting asked to re-write it."

 

[...]

 

"'I Love It' came on the at my house, and I picked up the radio and threw it at the wall."

 

If you read the full article below, she really acted like a brat throughout this entire article... If she truly didn't get "enough credit" for "I Love It," she wouldn't be able to use the royalties to decorate her house in the trashiest way possible, nor would people have remembered her name so well when "Fancy" dropped  :roll:

 

The Rolling Stone interview hasn't hit their website yet, but here are pictures of the print magazine:

No one ever knew she was in the song so like that is not good  :toofunny:  I'm glad I knew her before then because I told people at my school who she was when they asked what an XCX was  :smh:
