AbuHassan1992 766 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 this isn't bad at all. and besides, they pay for whatever's on their riders. they can ask for whatever they want. it's no like they get it for free. When artists ask for outrageous things, such as only brown m&ms, it's to ensure that the venue actually does what is asked of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwontell 7,312 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Y'all come for Azealia for being a "horrible person" and say that Madonna is arrogant (I remember reading awful comments a couple of days ago about the rumors that she made a dancer kiss her feet), yet you put up with this b---h's nonsense when she does just the same...I really don't get you guys...

A woman makes a dancer who's a little late kiss her feet. A woman calls a man a homophobic slur (this is not the first time) and cyber bullies another guy, and has a long history of disgusting behaviour. A woman who has delusions of grandeur and unrealistic expectations. Are you really trying to compare the three? Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us.

A woman who has delusions of grandeur and unrealistic expectations. Are you really trying to compare the three? Ok, different actions (even though Madonna's is just a rumor and Azealia's, imo, comes from untreated psychological problems), but - in their core - they're just different manifestations of the same thing, the same arrogance, aren't they? So wouldn't that make Grace just as kunty as ppl here say the other two are?Or does she gets a pass until her arrogance manifests itself in a way that someone here thinks to be unacceptable?I don't get it, I find it very incoherent...
