Bebe Rexha threatens to “bring down” the music industry and fears being “punished” again

Bebe Rexha threatens to “bring down” the music industry and fears being “punished” again

Bebe Rexha attacked the music industry in a heated series of X-posts on Tuesday.

Rexha, 34, initially found success as a songwriter, having written hits for Eminem, Selena Gomez, Tyler Hubbard and Nick Jonas, to name a few.

She has released three studio albums of her own and can be heard on numerous chart hit singles.

The “Say My Name” singer, who has been with Warner Records since the beginning of her career, claimed in a series of posts that she could “bring down a HUGE part of this industry.”

“I’m frustrated. I’ve been UNDERMINED. I’ve been so quiet for so long,” Rexha wrote.

“I didn’t see the signs, even though people bring them up all the time and they are SO OBVIOUS. And when I did say something, I was silenced and PUNISHED by this industry.”

“Things have to change or I will tell ALL my truths. The good, the bad and the ugly.”

Representatives for Rexha did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

When a fan asked, “What happened again?” she replied, “Again? You haven’t even heard 5 percent. You have NO CLUE.”

One fan commented, “No one should be forgiven for removing your name from Hey Mama.” Rexha simply replied, “My darling. This? Compared to all the other stuff you don’t know about? This is child’s play.”

David Guetta’s 2015 song “Hey Mama” was co-written by Rexha, Guetta and a number of other people. Although she was initially credited as a co-writer, she was not credited as a vocalist on the song, which also featured Nicki Minaj and Afrojack. This situation has since been corrected.

When asked what stopped the pop star from speaking her mind, she said: “THEY PUNISH YOU.”

Another follower suggested Bebe was trying to garner support for her latest single “I’m The Drama,” a claim Rexha denied.

“Marketing? I don’t have a budget for that. I’M SICK OF IT,” she wrote.

She did not reveal the reason for her “sadness”, but the “I’m a Mess” singer assured her fans that she greatly appreciates their support.

“This is not just anger. It is sadness,” Rexha assured her fans.

“I’m sitting in my hotel room in London crying my eyes out. I’ve felt hopeless for a long time. I’ve been walking around this city a lot and meeting fans and they’ve really sparked something in me.”
