But no, people just saw a woman speaking her mind and jumped right to the most extreme of conclusions in order to not engage with what she was actually saying.

Say it louder for the people in the back.

I guess what rubbed me the wrong way about the post was that she just did it out of the blue at a time where not a single soul was talking about her except ro praise NFR.  It was so odd considering that she'd just released one of her best albums to date, had recieved (almost) nothing but accolades, then decided to drop other artists' names to prove how "persecuted" she was.

Of course, I believe in discourse when it comes to art.  But why didn't she mention who was making those comments?  Why does she vaguely allude to the idea that she was being victimized?  It's not like the mainstream press had much strong or focused interest in her after 2014. Maybe she was frustrated for her music not getting as much mainstream recognition as it had with her first few albums?  Lots of unanswered questions around this that have stumped me ever since.
